Default G-Force 2001 Z06 LS3 Conversion Dyno and Vids!

I had a customer who hydro locked his motor in the storm last week. He was pretty bummed but I think hes smiling now!

The LS3 swap is a great choice for alot of these higher mileage F-Bodys and Corvettes. Turn around in most cases can be done in less than a week!

I like this idea and the car should have no problem beating cam only c5 z's with that tq. And with the light weight and trans gearing it should beat bolt-on c6 ls3 cars.

Great power! I was very impressed with the torque these motor make when I saw the swap they did in GMHTP. This thread just hammers that point home!

If you can't ask a question like that then why even mention the reason for needing a new motor? He doesn't have to answer, but there's nothing wrong with asking.

no doubt the LS3 is a torque machine...nice results with just basic boltons... however and this is just my unbiased opinion for the same money preditor mentioned, you could build a hella stroker setup which is the way Id go but thats just me. Nice results!!

Deal of the freakin' century if you got it for 450... was it blown? If it was a running, nice longblock, then I am happy as a clam for you and green as a cactus with envy.... lucky ****.

Nope no 0 missing. My friend worked at a dealership and the oil light on kept coming on and they put two motors in before finding out it was a wiring issue! I got the second motor he got the first one. I am just lucky.
