Anybody have an approx. amount on how much $ it would take to do a complete swap- ls1 and 4l60e wiring harness, fuel system etc. Complete, pass emissions and all? Just seeing if it would be worth it. Thanks

 

i doubt it would still pass emissons i could be wrong but when u goto emissions they bring up ur STOCK car and if it runs out of the boundaries of the stock numbers which i'm guessing a ls1 swap would do it wouldn't pass and i'm sure its kinda costly better off just buying a whole new car i think ls1's run with a stock build like 5-6grand but like i said i could be wrong

 

Engine/Trans/Harness - 3200
Labor and some misc. parts - 1300
Cluster - 35
Headers - 500
Electric Cutout/ Cutout- 225
LS6 Intake - 320
SLP Flowpack - 280
373 Gear and rebuild - 400
Adjustable TA (pinion angle will more than likely be out) - 250-ish
LCA's - 100
SFC's - Can't remember..
AC hoses - ???
Random stuff - ???

Probably some more.. but that's about what it took for my swap and most of the parts that I got with it..

 

just save up 5-6k and buy a ls1 car. Much easier, less hassle.

 

The motor and how much work you plan to do has alot to do with it.

My 5.3 cost me $2100 with everything.
$300 to mod and flash the harness/ECM.
Fuel system another $250.
Drive shafts? Misc wiring, nuts bolts????

Figure $3K easy

Will you put it in a car made for it or something else?

Smog normally means it has to pass as the same year as the new motor with all the stock emissions.
