Default New From Canada

Recently started building an 84 Monte Carlo SS, looking to do a 5.3 single turbo setup. Don't really know to much about the ls engines or turbos except i recently went for a ride in a single turbo 6L camaro and was blown away by the power so a friend recommended this forum to me!

Welcome!
Man, if I was looking for a new engine for my Monte (I/m not, not with my low miles) I would jump all over an LS1 engine. What a powerful ride that would be without breaking the bank. I have no idea if the original tranny could hold up but I'd sure explore it. Best of luck!

No stock tranny would not last. I've been through two already with just a mild 350 sbc I just picked up a th400 to build also. Plan on doibg a transbrake aswell
