Because a car with an LS1 already in it isn't that much money to justify the hundreds of hours of labor involved in such a project. Sell your car, buy an LS1... switch the LT1 pointy nose on it if that's your thing.

Re: LT1 LS1 swap

to basically explain it all simply, you need to change everything from the motor, to the fuel tank. All the wiring, and fuel lines... ect.

unless you can get a salvage car to do the swap with, it will nickel and dime you to death.
