what is your guys opinions on an ls3 engine swap?

KLAB 01-25-2012 02:58 AM

my opinion is that its badass

fluffy 01-25-2012 03:19 AM

ok well i bought my car a little while ago and other than the dyno sheet the kid couldnt tell me much about it.. which really bothers me so i am saving up for a new engine to play with

Unless your forging it and upping cubes like a 413 or 418 don't bother.

if i had the money l99 with a 6l60e cam only. Then again if I had enough for that I'd probably get a more convenient car :P

LS3 sound pretty bad ass man, if you got the time and money i'd say go for it.
depending on the miles u have on the current engine that is.
got to remember its a FAST car, so most dumb ppl beat the shit out of them so you need to know that that's obviously what this kid did too

whitdog54 01-25-2012 04:04 PM

agreed, BA, but rather throw in a lm7 or l4/9

That would be epic, theres nothing like the scream of a roots type supercharger, not to mention theres no lag with that type of FI.

A drop in LS3 wouldn't be great. To do it you need the sensor conversion harness to adapt the crank wheel pulses. Works like shit.

L99 with 6L60? Thats the reason I sold my car. What a shit setup. LOL

what would u suggest for an engine transplant? or do not suggest one at all rather just start with a new ls1 and do work to it? i honestly would like to run a twin screw supercharger so thats why i had been staying to what the kits are for.. but if u have any suggestions i am more than open to hearing them.....especially since u know theses cars and engines and their comptability way better than i do

Just a fyi, those twin screws heat soak bad.

I would do a forged 402 and a D1 procharger or F1A. And a 4l80e. Just my .02

Slowhawk 01-27-2012 03:37 PM

They make twin screw's for older heads too.

You can build anything nowadays.
