There is a subforum called "Other Engine Conversions" which deals with V8 swaps. Also, Google up "Grannys speed shop".

If you have the money for an LS7 swap you would already have a vette or an FD.

No, I meant lt1. Almost the same power for a third or less the price. If you have the money to burn, go ahead. The ls1 has thinner cylinder walls thus less room for more displacement. The much better heads and intake is the difference in power. It's also aluminum, so it's much lighter. If your on a budget get the lt1 and mod it later, if you've got 5-6k to burn go ahead and get the ls1.

Do you have an lt1 car?

The lt1 guys I've seen love the setup
