corvette well guys i have been sucked into the gm world lol i have been a huge corvette fan since i was a kid and now i have decided to get one have some questions tho so i have a build lq4 from a 2002 truck and i was planning on putting it in my nissan 240sx for drifting but i have put all my nissan parts up for sale and my nissan as well and im picking up a c5 and wanna put my lq in it and its going to be my drift car instead so my question is what all is required to get the lq into the c5 and get it running wiring? and things like that
The blocks are pretty close to the same, the difference is everything on the block and the weight. You would have hope the lq made enough power more to make it worth the swap otherwise just put a cam in the ls that is in the vette and bolt ons and you will make lots of power.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
Both. I just think drifting is extremely lame. It's like all he n00bs with Honda's bought RWD cars and couldn't control it, wrecked them, then to cover there asses turned into a "sport". So now when you drive a horrible riding, crappy tired, beat to **** 240.....it's a "drift car" with "drift scars". I just think the whole culture of it needs to be killed with fire.
I agree with that most of them are beat to **** and ride like it, but there is some out there that still ride nice and look good. But for it to be killed would just put them all back on the streets and doing it when cars are around. Not saying they don't now but it would be all the time...I went to a drift event at pats acres and it was bad *** to go for rides.

If it were me...I'd be smart...keep the LS in the Vette, it's not like you need the LQ to win drag races or anything. If you wanna drift, go drift. The LS already in the car will do that all day long. Do what ya gotta do with the LQ and save yourself some freegin time an effort. Sell it, pawn it, **** it, stroke it, drop it in some POS drag car, whatever. If you wanna drift, keep the LS1 DUDE. nuf said ..............use that thing between your ears boy.

Well the reason I'm doing the lq is because it is fully built only thong I kept from original motor isbthe block and crank. Has internals balance heads beadwork cam all the works other wise I would keep the ls1
As said earlier, I dont necessarily hate drifting, but the whole culture is kinda fucked up IMO and turns me off to the sport in a big way.
The idea of sliding a car sideways is very fun though. I grew up on snow covered roads in western Montana so I did that a lot with my cars and trucks in the winter months.
Just my. 02...
