Does anyone else think about swapping an ls1 into....
i guess its because its kinda well packaged and easy to wire up, plus the fact that its lighter than most other engines and that you're only a cam swap away from 400 rwhp sorta helps.
man , an '05 mustang with an ls1 ! now that would **** alot of people off.... i love it! (pencils in '05 mustang to the list)

can't wait to finish my swap and see what the LS1 fuss is all about.
I have always thought about swapping a ls1/t56 into a 98-03 grand prix and making it rear wheel drive.I prolly will never do it but I love this cars and would be nice to have one with a v8, manual trans and rwd

cant fix
also, i think the salvage yard guys are onto me
im only there like every weekend
i think they finally figured out what the "VORTEC" motors are derived from
theres this one know it all dude at one the yards i buy from, who has told me that the 6.0 did not interchange with any of the other GM engines because its a vortec and that it is the new "real" vortec like the 90's one and that he has adapted the new heads to his old 96 silverado
and the 5.3/4.8 engines are junk because he has been told by his engine builder that they are not worth building up
also this jackass told me that the LS1 was a "throw away" engine and that i should build a real motor and not waste my time with it.
i went with the flow and the guy selling it knocked off $500 from the price because he thought he was ripping me off.
it came from a 01 T/A with the LS6 intake and i pulled it from the car
i got the engine from them for $500 with harness
thanks to know it all jackass
thought i should share
