LS1 Swap

[Mike69]

Buddy of mine has been trying to get me to do a LS1 swap on my fox body. How many of you guys have done this? I've been wanting to ditch my 306 with S-Trim for a fast N/A motor. Will mainly be a street car with little track passes. I don't know anything about LS1's. Just wondering if this is the way to go. Any input would be Great!!!

Thanks!!!!

Wtf!? Why? Blown 306 is much more fun than a LS1

It is pretty fun but want to go back to N/A. Just kicking around some ideas. Not sure what I actually plan on doing yet. May just do a H/C/I upgrade on my current 306.

or you could buy a 351 and H/C/I that. =)

That was my initial planning. To build a stout 408. I'm not in any hurry so have a lot of time to figure out what I want to do.

Build a 408-427 Windsor NA, make 550 wheel and a shit ton of torque. It'd feel like a newer Viper and run like one too...

If you get bored you can always throw a blower on that like I used to run... blown 408s are good times.

Lol@ tags, this is obviously going to happen in every tuning or ls1 thread now.

What would a complete LS1 swap cost about?

This...I don't get guys swapping ls motors into mustangs. I made 420/380 to the tires from a basic off the shelf parts 347 on a stock tune and great driveability. A 408 would easily make 500/460 without trying and on the cheap with off the shelf parts. Hunt for used stuff and save even more!

Between $2-8K depending on how much you shop around.

I wanted an all aluminum setup that fit under a stock hood and didn't drive like shit except for WFO. It makes 500hp using stock MAF, TB, intake, injectors, ect with power steering and it will chug along in 6th gear at 1500RPM no bucking/surge.
