(Engine swap) opinions anyone
i'm thinking of swapping a ls6, ls2, or ls1 which would be the best for boosting and which one would be less costly to upgrade.

Look at getting a different rear end if you plan on boosting either of those engines. Lots of guys go with the 8.8 it seems. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ight=cobra+irs Do you even own an FD yet? I too thought I was going to do the Ls1 swap as soon as I got my FD. But now that I own one, I don't even consider it. As far as cost goes I got a quote from Brian Hinson at HinsonSuperCars.com when I was researching (something you should be doing more of it seems) and he said, "On average, the typical customer will spend $20K including the cost of a car fora complete LS1 build. LS2 builds will cost a couple thousand more." One thing to consider is passing smog and I believe the only set up people have gotten to pass in CA so far is the Ls1. I could very well be wrong on this though. Hope this helps. |
the best for boosting, huh, you would want an iron block bottom end 6.0 LS1 out of a truck.
you can throw in some aftermarket forged pistons and boost that motor to the moon and back. the truck motors are also cheaper to source since they are not aluminum. |
thanks wild7 for the info but is the price only for the engine or for the whole process. do you know how much a good set of piston heads go for.
