Ok for all those in the Know... this has been a project thats been under the werks for a bit.
Its an LS1 fitted into a GTP, mated to a fully built Dynotech 4t65e.

Don't get any Idea's torque:p

[csledd]

man eric.. think of all the groceries!!!

lol j/p.. that's crazy.

[Torquenstein]

I don't think you have to worry about me getting any ideas. I don't even get paid enough to think.

man eric.. think of all the groceries!!!

lol j/p.. that's crazy.

Haha, ironically enough, I did just get done cutting out a bunch of coupons.:D

[Torquenstein]

I will say this though. Although I don't like the LS1 being swapped in to a GTP just for the simple fact that they could've gotten just as much power out the stock L67 for a fraction less than the cost of the swap...

The swap itself just goes to prove how small of an engine the LS1 actually is. That's the beauty of pushrod engines though my friends. Compare an LS1 to the shear size and weight of a DOHC 4.6 modular V8 from Ford, and prepared to be amazed and the difference cam configurations can make between 5.7 liters and 4.6. Weighing only 50 lbs. more than a L67, they're aren't going to notice any handling loss from the added weight. If anything, the car might launch better just for having the added weight in the correct place "see rant about Carbon Fiber hoods on FWD cars".

Good find Amagine. Looks like it puts down the power the LS1 is so famed for having.

The government should mandate every vehicle come with an ls1 standard equipment.... or ls2, ls6, ls7 ect.

Yea true the 4.6 is monsterous. but I have seen DOHC V8's which actually take up no more room than an LS1 (ie anything from toyota). Judging from the size of the GP engine bay I wonder if this project saved the AC... never said

wow...that would be insane and i'd smoke all your asses!

[Amagine]

wow...that would be insane and i'd smoke all your asses!
what while we're in 6 gear and your in 1st? LOL:D

[SeeAreX]

no, i'd be in 6th but i would have spun all the way there! yeah, i prolly be so slow because it would be impossible to hook up or not break something:rolleyes:

[Amagine]

I thought you were saying that you'd still beat us... lol

nah I can hook up just fine in a friend of mines camaro. Now dealing with a 6spd with the gears bout a fingernails width apart. Thats another thing all together
Manuals>me

[shawn.hayden]

+1 for the most unique swap I think I've ever seen

Don't forget the LC2!;)

As far as the GTP+LS1 goes, can anybody say "Torque Steer",,, and no, I am not calling Eric a cow.:rolleyes:

that is one of the best ideas ive heard in a long time :cool:

[Torquenstein]

There isn't enough gas in the world for all of those engines!

and no, I am not calling Eric a cow.:rolleyes:

Oh, I see how it is Jason!:mad: :p

We could just convert them to Alky or better yet, pure Nitrous.:D


Sorry bro, I was actually trying to keep such insults from happening, but it seems the Haterade was released anyway. Pass me a cold one....:cool:

[Torquenstein]

Hahaha, Haterade...the drink of Champions!:thumb:

heh, you know what's funny, is that the LS1 and T56 weighs ~ 120 lbs less than the KA24DE and auto tranny from a 240sx:D

Haha, I keep tellin everyone...just cause its a V8, doesn't mean its heavy.:)

[turbo86]

True, True......

I have had 2 LS1s, and I must say, it is the most durable and moddable V8 engine out there, IMO.....

[Amagine]

slap an LS2 intake on it and viola you've gone from 325 to 400hp LOL
Pretty insane ease you can tap power out of these engines. Bad side is every mod, besides the ones you create your self will leave a nice hole in your pocket

how ever word has it the LT1's in the old f-bodies were actually making quite a bit more power than they were quoted as. Corvette Group didn't like the Idea that their "flagship" car at the time was getting trumped by a much more optioned, cost effective. lower caste car. LOL

[burd]

GM LOVE ROCKIN!!! bout time

uhh, you're telling me an manifold will give you 70 HP? i've seen some debate as to whether swapping to an LS2 manifold will give any gains at all.


and there are 2 things that are keeping me from going LT1: cast block, and optispark.

well I'm sure that is in addition to cam and/or tune. I'm not the world's expert with LSx motors. But if you want to be in generalities it could be possible. FAST's LS1 intake/mani combo yeilds like a 10-15% gain and its basically the same thing as an LS2 intake. So do Long-tubes on an LSx motor. Getting a 350 hp motor to 400 is not THAT hard on LSx architecture.

and I beleive a Cast block out ran a well known cobra a wee while ago:rolleyes:

mean what you say, and say what you mean.

You stated, and I quote:

which is gross misinformation, or as I like to call it: bull..... You didn't mention a full bolton build, so how were any of us to assume that's what you meant?


and I beleive a Cast block out ran a well known cobra a wee while ago:rolleyes:
congrats. I konw of quite a few motors with cast blocks that are donkey pumping cobras, a 4G63 comes to mind.

Cast is great for having a stout bottom end for rediculous HP, but if I were doing an LS1 swap, 400 NA would be plenty for me, plus the occasional nitrous shot. plus, i'd rather have the lighter motor to retain maneuverability.

If you think the 4.6 DOHC is big, you should see a 5.4 DOHC. Even bigger.:D

[csledd]

lol yup.. its very common to find mustang drivers who complain about how beastly LS1's are.. most of them cry because they can mod the crap out of their 4.6 and a LS1 will come along and add some headers and intake and still have more HP.

like you for example:cool:

[csledd]

yup I have modded the crap out of my 4.6, but I still like it better than an LS1. I dont cry about the LS1's being faster mod for mod.. its a freaking 5.7l engine.. of course its going to be faster.

[Torquenstein]

sounds reliable.

and the build up
on paper this ..... is a 383 making 500FHP

[shawn.hayden]

Mille Miglia's... wow

[Torquenstein]

sounds reliable.

LOL, I think Lloyd should just stick to throwing 3800SC engines in Fieros.:thumb:

[burd]

no swap beats that blown big block in a crx. owned.

how bout this one?
blown big big in a cavy
