99 GMC Jimmy LS1 Swap ?
Ok here is the story from the begining. I am a honda guy , I have done many engine swaps and turbo installations again on hondas.
A client/friend has a 99 GMC Jimmy 4x4 auto. I have just finished a motor swap,LSD,and turbo kit in his 92 Prelude. He has his jimmy in the shop getting a big lift a big tires installed at a suspension shop. Sorry I dont know what exactly.He asked me to price out a S/C for his 4.3L. I jokingly said lets install a LS1 and turbo it. Now I cant talk him out of it. i love challenges, so that is why I am here to seek some info on what I am getting myself into. If anyone has any links or info on the swap it would be greatly appreciated.
Import bashing is also welcome as I love to here about how ricers suck. it makes me laugh. I appreciate all types of vehicals and the work that goes into them. So take care and keep the shiney side up.

There is a section on this board that deals strictlywith LS1 coversions. I think it's called Conversions and Hybrids. You will probably get a better response and help if you post your question there. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help. Good luck and the swap sounds interesting.
