Default Possible L92 Swap

Wanting to talk to someone thats done an l92 swap before

how much do they weigh vs other ls aluminum motors
how much unforseen cost were they
what all is needed to convert it to work in a fairly small car (240sx, rx7 etc)
(I understand theres a few things accessory wise needed)
and is it worth keeping the vvt?

Same weight as other aluminum block engines. When I did my swap I got rid of the VVT, got a LS2 front cover, installed a Corvette balancer and Corvette accessories. I also recommend the GMPP ECU and harness. I got the LS7 harness and ECU, since I also installed a LS7 cam. The tune was almost perfect, just a little rich at WOT.

If you can fit truck accessories I'd keep VVT for sure. TSP and Mast make some great cams for it.


I deleted it only because I went w/ a PD supercharger so the better torque curve from VVT wasn't "needed" and the LSA supercharger accessories don't work w/ the truck spacing needed to clear the VVT cover. Had I not done a blower I'd have ran a TSP VVT cam and made great power with an awesome torque curve. It's a power adding tech, why get rid of it if you don't need to? Just need a tuner who knows how to do it.


Otherwise everything's similar to a L99 except slightly lower compression.
