check the info in the stickies at the top of this section. plenty of info. i'm putting a 6.0L in my 73 firebird, lots of guys putting lsx engines in second and third gens. should add year of your car in your post for more help. also check nastyz28.com for info. horsepower and swap depends on how much work you're willing to do and how much you're willing to spend. joel
When this question came up in the past I believe the consensus is that it is better to start with an F Body that came with an LS1 originally rather than try to convert a 6 cylinder car. It's cheaper, fewer headaches and the resale value will be better.
Bottom line, if you want a 98+ car, find a Trans Am or Formula with LS1 from the factory, then get to modifying.
