I 7000 in hand and i want a ls1 in my car badly. I can buy an ls1 right now for 4500 from some dude but how much money will i still need to drop on parts. or should i keep on saving up money and buy it straight from the dealer ship? i could really use the advice.

 

This question should be asked in the other engines conversion section, but your best bet would be to go http://www.torquecentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11 to get all the advice you'll need.

Also, stop by http://www.hinsonsupercars.com/partsMainFCRX7.htm and get a general pricing for the things you'll need. Simple searching for things such as "Ls1 swap" should yield you sufficient information here.

 

This is the correct section to ask this question. Good work.

its too much work... don't do it.

 

too much work ur crazy.. this swap is easy from what i heard and i started mine it comming along well. this is my first swap by the way. and depending on what you want the 7,000 should be almost enouf.

 

Depends on FC fs VD.

FC is cheaper... period. You can use grannys mounts

FD is gonna be pricey... period.

 

wayyyy to much work

 

 

 

you must not know how to even change your oil if you think this swap is to much work

 

+1

don't do it dude, you'll regret it and in the end, it's not even worth it.

 

if u search around u can find engine and tranny for a bit cheaper. also there are ways to cheapen the swap but it will still cost a decent amount. not sure but do u have the rx7 yet? u can get money for the engine and tranny out of that. i just completed mine and it took me about 2 months total, that was waiting for parts to be made etc.

ive never driven a rotary rx7 so i cant tell you the diff but ive had ka24de-t's, rb20det, and rb25det. its a lot different than those i must say. ill sell ya mine if ur interested...i want to try another one.

Don't do it. Its totally not worth it.

 

i take it to the oil change place. i tell them not to change the filter when i go. when the oil is clean it shouldnt need to be filtered and it saves me a couple dollars.

 

That's a great tip!

 

Yep, just a waste of money

 

 

12s stock but it a waste of time? come on now people

 

...bit dense aren't we?

Definitely not worth the effort. V8's suck.
