Was talking with a friend about converting to an LS1 and when we got to the space issue, he brought up the v-6 swap... giving plenty of room for a set of twins.

I'm not really looking to go past 350-400 hp (that's what I say now anyway) and I've always planned on having turbos on the vehicle post swap. His response was... you could push 700 with a 4.3L Chev... I dunno

Anyway, My questions are as follows...

Anyone have any experience doing a v-6 swap?

Anyone know the drawbacks to a v-6 (other than it's not a rotary)?

Anyone have any info they could direct me to?

Thanks a ton!

 

A Buick Grand National Turbo v6 would be right up your alley- and make your car pretty darn quick.... A couple of people have already done this. Check out www.torquecentral.com
under the v8 rx7 pages, then do some searching.

Have fun
Later,
