i know that the ls1 would be the 1st chocie of many but can someone tell me why the ls1 and not any other ls or lt engine. be it cost, pwer to weight ratio, or the amount of fabbing requered.

i'm sure i can look it up myself but if the ts really want help these are questions he'd like answered too.

Hahha, he said 240sx. The ls7 deserves a better car than that. As for ls1, I've read that it's lighter than the LT series, and cheaper than ls2,ls6, ls etc. Theres also much more information about there for an ls1 into 240 than any other v8 I can think of.

viper V10

or maybe the 6.5 litre V12 out of a Murciélago LP640

perhaps you would prefer a LSx for its price and weight.

maybe it would be best for mentally challenged folk like yourself to have a D15a in your car, but it would be better to leave it stock.

ls1 are dirt cheap. Just swap that in with a cam and you'll be set. None of the nissan motors are going to compare NA.

I would realy like to stick with a 4 or 6 cylinder. I have a truck that is horrible on gas so i need a dd that would be upgradable and get like high 20' to 30's mpg wise.

and moderator

Any time you want to race come out to michigan and my 1000$ truck will smoke anything you put next to it. So go ahead and say more stupid stuff, and make fun of people
