an ls1? go get a chevy caprice. the cop cars! woot! especially if they still have the un governed computer in em!

 

Caprice has them? How much power?

 

lots... theyre a torque monster too

 

Interesting, Thanks!

 

good luck with it though... i would rather have the ls1 than a vg30... even twin turbo

 

Cant imagine a v8 soundin 240 LOL

 

i saw one the other day at a classic car show. They let it in cuz it had a motor out of an L-82 corvette

 

Ls-1s are also in camaros and vettes right?

 

yepperz

 

I wonder if it will still be legal....

 

uh... are you ignorant? maybe you havent read the post. Look up "Legalities of engine swaps" its a thread here... read it, take 2 and call me in the morning

 

Ive read it smartass...But BAR told me as long as everything from the other car is there, meaning smog equipment, I could take it to a refferee and have them check the swap. If all turns out well they will give me some papers so the next time I go to the smog shop they know what they are looking at. Of course it only works with AMERICAN engines...Hence why you cant do it with an sr,rb, etc. v8 might be pushing it though.

 

like i always say, its better to be a smartass than a dumbass

Well anyways, if you read the law carefully, it pretty much says that if the motor did not come on the car, or was not an option it cant be put in. Now there are exceptions to the rules, which allows ppl to drop huge motors in old as crap cars.

 

Im ignorant so...Ill give BAR another call...

 

yeah tell them that you got busted lol...
