how spastic of me to chuck a repost.

I'm looking at throwing a LS1 into a surf. Now i think i should chuck one into a boxcar. Just to be more different from this guy.

An LS1 into a ford would provide many hours of entertaining threads for me to argue with people I dont know about things I dont care about.

Do it.

Pretty sure there isn't enough ice in the world to sustain a significant number of LS1 conversions, so it will never become popular.

how to pick an ice junkie 101
- they fill your esky up with rocks
- they gee up hard when they see the local servo selling for $3 a bag
- they think LS1 owners put an eighth on their manifold to prevent heatsoak


:P

It'd probably piss the person off who did the conversion, spending heaps of money to put a motor in that is no better than the one that came out...

Do it anyway though, OED has been looking for an F6 engine for ages. We'll take yours :)

LS1 into KE70. Someone do it.

LS1 into a modern XR8 or GT would be a conversation starter for sure. The best part for the owner is that the car might be quick then.

+1

You could also make some money back by selling the old motor to a shipping company.
