Ls1 impala ss i was on gmhightechperformance.com and stumbled on this.....
2004 Chevy Impala SS with a LS1 V8 engine on the same Wbody FWD platform as the 2006-08 Impala SS,Monte Carlo SS,Grand Prix GXP etc.I wonder why GM pulled the plug on this one,it would have been nice
yeah thats a LS1 V8 under the hood of a FWD Impala SS LoL!
This LS1-powered Impala SS could take the world by storm, if only it gets the chance

The LS1 went out of production after MY2004. With the exception of the 2004 GTO, LS1 (non-Vette) cars made 305-325 HP depending upon year and tune. The LS4 was rated 303 HP. And while the LS1s were a but underrated from the factory, the LS4 is in the ballpark.
I don't think this is news, because if you stuck our intake manifolds and exhaust systems on an LS1, the result wouldn't be much better than what we ultimately got in the 5.3.

I remember seeing that car years ago. I wonder if the transmission was stronger than ours? I still think shorty headers might work on our cars with oval pipe running under the oil pan. I just don't like the idea of running exhaust pipe under the throttle body.

Cuz they hate to do whats right most of the time.
If its the right way then some white collar fucktard sees the idea come across his desk and says " whoooaaa wait a minute, this idea is too good but I like it and i will NOT put a highly produced realiable motor in it. Ill scratch this idea make them start over with a different engine... HA HA HA HAAAA! I get paid to much".
bastards.....

Agreed. Aside from some piston slap in the early LS1s, these motors are dead-nutz reliable. The only other problem is DoD motor-specific...The lifters. If I ever own another DoD car, I'll definitely get it tuned out.
I hate DOD.. if I wanted a gasser, I'd just get a little 4cyl. I'm still getting 18.6 avg MPG with my combo. I went to the ocean last month and got 26mpg doing 75mph. City driving is what kills. I'm sure with my new gears and converter my MPG will take a serious dump!
