I have a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am ws6 with the factory LS1 and t56.
Upgrades include
-Moser Ford 9 inch with 4.10 gears and a locker
-i have purchased a tremec t56 from Tick performance to go in it
-Full BMR suspension with watts-link
-Baer disc brakes all the way around
-full Kooks long tubes and true duals

i was wondering if i could possibly put an lsx 454 in my car?
how much cost
will i need new accessories
will i be able to retain the cable driven throttle
i know i will need a new tune in my ecu but what else?

Help.

Yes...
Cost of engine plus some other stuff like intake, TB, rails, injectors..
No
Yes

The LSx454 has a 58 tooth reluctor, so the easiest way to make it happen is to use a Lingenfelter converter box...

can i use the MSD Airforce ls7 intake and throttle body or do i have to use the factory one?
where could i get the ecu tuned?
can i use the factory ram air intake system on my car?

Thanks

You can use the MSD intake and add a aftermarket 4 bolt TB.

Get a tune at your best, local engine tuner.

You can probably reuse the stock intake.

The Best and probably cheapest way, is to have a shortblock built with a 24x crank.

He was asking specifically about the LSx454...

But you're right, building a 24x engine is the simple way.
