Planning ahead
In the near future, I would like to make plans for an LSX powerplant. However, I dont want to sell my car at the moment, but I'm not sure if I should keep putting money into my car so here are my options I've been considering.
Sell the Z, buy an LS1 car, do a H/C/I Keep the Z, sell the LT1 and 4L60E and do a H/C/I truck motor build and T-56 I love m car and the way it looks but is it really worth the time and money?

Keep me posted on your decision, I have an LQ4 I might want to get rid of. I was going to do an ls swap in my car, but I think I might be getting in way over my head in that direction.

And the best way to do a swap is to find a totaled LS car and just swap over the parts you need.

^^ TRUTH!! Only real way to do it. the parts alone will cost you more in the end then just buying a running driving LS car. i would either buy a wrecked one or a HIGH mileage car for as good price and do some rebuilding/big motor swap. But you have ALL the swap parts.

You put a lot of work into that car and it looks great, I'd want to keep it too. I would ask yourself what you really want from a motor swap, and see if you could get there without going that far. You could probably put a converter in that car and get a lot of enjoyment out of it without a huge investment. Don't get caught up in chasing numbers, it will just make you poor.
