I want an LS1 engine in my turdgen
 
I kick myself in the ass now for spending so much money on the 383 in my car now. I wish I had a mild built LS engine in there now. Id gladly give up my engine for a stock LS1 engine and T56. I miss A/C and good fuel economy. I miss the feeling of a nice smooth running engine too. Now who wants to trade engines?

just find a wrecked 4th gen, strip it. Ive seen them go as little as $1000 with the 4l60e...not sure about the m6

99% of all wrecked 4th gens have well o er 100k miles on them. It's pointless to put swap a drivetrain with that many miles on it. I don't want to start getting into rebuilds and aftermarket parts either. The last time I said I was only going to add a few bolt ons it turned into a 10 year project that cost over $15k

if it wasn't beat on then a 100k ls1 should be just fine. besides if a swap was in order so would a rebuild. it's more a labor issue than a cost 1. besides finding a used LS1 even if pulled out is tough enough at the right $$.

but here's 1.

bit much if you ask me, but it's a start.

Yea man, 100k isnt shit, I got 170k on my original LT1 in my car. And I totally agree with you, I wish I had an LS1 everyday.....but oh well, all I can do is dream lol

im just about to kick down 100k on this one, camaro had over 100k...its really not an issue for these drivetrains, and they thing would have had to be a track car to see enough abuse to turn it to shit..or if it wasnt taken care of
