67 cutlass ls1 swap ? i have a 67 cutlass and im looking at doing a ls swap. i have 330 in it right now and it is running fine i just want a little more out of my car without breaking the gas pump. i was gonna build a 455 but with the recent gas prices that seems like it wouldnt ge a good choice right now. i have been reading alot of blogs and different groups and i have a question? which is the best motor to go with and also where can i get it. if anyone has any suggestions i would be willing to listen than making a purchase mistake. thanks
If you are looking used a LQ9 has flattops and higher conpression than the LQ4 which is usually cheaper.
If you want aluminum LS1's are plentiful and cheap. LS2/3's are more $$ but you have better head choices and can get more cid out of them unless you sleeve an LS1....

No one can help you unless you state what your plans are, what are you looking to do with the car? What kind of power do you want to make, etc

cutlass swap what i really want to do is put a ls conversion motor and trans in my cutlass. i want to go fuel injected and get some good gas mileage with some power too. i seen alot of conversions that have worked out and i wanted to do the same. i don't know what motor and trans to go with so i was looking for some suggestions on how to prodceed. i just want to get a engine and trans to drop in and go. i am not gonna do tricks to the engine just cruise. thanks for your help guys.
Just get an ls1 then they can be had relatively cheaply, isn't going to be the easiest thong to install though.
You could also buy an older motor and use the fuel injection systems that mount where carbs normally do.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids-28/ This post should be here. You'll get a lot more info from the guys in there. Sounds like a bitchin idea! Go for a LS1 since they're easier to get. Just make sure to upgrade to at least an LS6 intake but you'd be best off going with a FAST.
