Negative Ghostrider, it was a custom Chevy small block not an LS7.


Also that LS9 Camaro is retarded. The motor is almost 3 times the price of that car lol.

i love this thread, i know i want an LSx something but this puts the options in much better perspective!

 

[cjsmuscle]

Awesome thread, I had no idea the LS was being swapped into that many different cars (like the WRX and Volvette (lol), for example).

I concur, It would have been better in an fd

The Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation with an LS1.

Damn man. This is actually killing my idea of swapping a Lsx into my riviera in the future . Hmmmmm Viper engine is relatively right around the same price range .

That's GM Performance Part's test mule. I think they chose it because other than being their mule to fool with, the odd size engine compartment makes swaps like this very difficult. This exact car previously had a dry sump LS-7 squeezed into it just to show what they could do, and I guess they are just taking it a step further now. I agree though that it would be crazy to spend all that money on that engine and that swap just to put it into a cheap 4th gen. You'd have to be obsessed with that particular car to throw that kind of money at it, IMO.

LS1 Porsche 914! That must have been a job...

Go back and read the description. It says that it was a Lingengfelter 427. On Lingenfelter's website the only 427 kits he has are LS7 based so that is where that came about. The article was vague. But if there is concrete evidence that it was a custom small block then I apologize for the misinformation...

It should be the other way around martel! Thought this would motive, it got me thinking about a lot of other cars

When the crate LS9 costs $25K, a lot of cars it will be swapped into it will cost less than the motor:lol:

That Starion is perfect!

All I'm saying is why do a swap like that when you can put a good set of heads and a nice cam and a bottle and make the same power for 1/4 of the proice.

 

[vreaux728645]

I'd like to see on swapped into an hardtop n/a. What about emissions in states that check OBDII?

 

[kevin99hoss]

dont forget about the LS1 swapped Evo 7(??) from the middle east
