Generation V LT1
So Chevrolet is selling the Stingray engine in crate form for the low, low price of $11,000:
LT1 Crate Engine: 6.2L Small Block Engine | Chevrolet Who's thinking about putting one into their car? |
My self I like the LSX 376 !!!
|
Looks like it could make insane power... but a bit heavier with the iron block.

It is just an LS3 with a ASA cam in it.

Nice. But I like the high-tech features in the LT1 (street)... the LS 376 makes more sense for a track build.
I'm curious about how well it will fit into everything and whether it will end up lighter in the front than an LS (including transmission, etc.). |
No it won't be any lighter than an LS, and no one has swapped one yet so there are no real answers on how it will fit. You'll have to make a custom oil pan for sure, and who knows if the manifolds will work. An LS3 is a spectacular street engine in any of the 3 trims GM sells it in - 430HP, 480HP or 525HP.
What high tech features do you think the LT1 will have? It it just a direct injected pushrod V8. It does have variable valve timing, but the Gen 4 engines can be had with that too. It is going to take significant extra cost and time to make it work. That said, I have seen a the wet sump version for $8625 shipped. http://www.karlperformanceparts.com/...FQaPaQodVQYAOw |
Better emissions, mileage, and cylinder deactivation.

There's always tradeoffs. I'd probably stick with a stock 460 hp... more than enough for the FD chassis on the street.
|
Direct injection, I am personally not ready to play with that. If I get a lt1 in getting the car it was a made for. Those things are sexy as fuck.
