now i dont know how big an LS1 is but we have a couple of 1UZ toyota v8s rolling around in WRXs over here, so if its possible to fit and EJ20t (which i am unsure if it is) you should be able to fit a LS1....possibley need ot make lots of custom bits, gearbox tunnel/crossmembers/engine mounts/relocation of steering rack etc....im sure it coul dbe done it you thouhgt about it enough, would have to be RWD which would make its own probs too.
sorry mate im from the other side of the world where parts are plentiful and cheap...i'd maybe ring a local wrecker and see how much they would charge for it...jsut to get a feel for the price
I did a quick search but couoldnt find any specific info so....
has anyone done this swap - is it even possible?
any pitfalls or stuff to be aware of?
is it worth the hassle...mainly thinking of the conversion for sleeper vaule:lol:
