I've been hearing so much **** how i should swap my motor for either a LS1 or a new LS7. What do u guys think? Because there isnt much u can do to a LS7 except add a lil shot of nos. Would u think a highly Up'ed wankel or go for the swap?

 

lets see here

umm, Search vs Search

 

i agree but i say go for hyped up wankel. u will always have the weight advantage over the v8's.

 

thats what i say, but the new LS7 is a small block so, i mean its BIG, but not as big as it could be.

 

There's really no weight advantage when you compare the LS1 and 13B-REW.

edit: The LS7 is very expensive if you didn't already know but I would put it in my car if I had the money.

 

The fact of the matter is, i want performance & style. A LS1 is nasty for the performance side, but takes up all the hood spaces. Plus, i feel like keeping it orginal and not blowing 5k.

 

oh really?? lol!! Considering how once the LSx is swapped inplace of the rotary, the entire car weighs about 100lbs LESS than it did before. (the LSx are all aluminum V8s)

 

a fully dressed 13B-REW including stock twins and manifold weighs 50lbs less than an LS1 shortblock...

There's a decent weight advantage, just not as much as most people think. People see V8 and they think of the big block 427 sitting in their dads garage when they were a kid.

American V8 tech is definately on par with import stuff, but I'd never put a V8 in a 7.

 

Oh jesus christ. and the morons start marching towards this thread. IBTL.

 

THANK YOU! somebody posting exactly what i wanna hear
