i may be wrong but is that a LS1 in a BA?

by **BLKPHN** » October 22nd, 2008, 2:22 pm

great idea better than the Boss!!!

by **Bipolar** » October 22nd, 2008, 2:24 pm

Wow. I guess someone was gonna do it eventually. Is that an AFF member's B-Series?

by **krisisdog** » October 22nd, 2008, 2:31 pm

I think someone put one of those in there about 3 years or so ago.. Dont remember if it was magazine or intehnet pics tho...

by **Malakai** » October 22nd, 2008, 4:23 pm

It might go fast now.

Yeah true that!

When is someone going to put one in a E-series?

by **Rollin** » October 22nd, 2008, 5:13 pm

Is that an actual pic though? Or just a very good photoshop? The angle of the engine doesn't seem right, but it just might not have a gearbox attached.

Good idea if you get the engine cheap I reckon.

Look at all that extra space, you can actually see the extractors!

by **misk** » October 22nd, 2008, 5:26 pm

nah its real, heres another pic

by **nommic** » October 22nd, 2008, 5:46 pm

Haha that's sick.

Would anyone happen to have a pic of an LS1 next to a Boss motor?

I remember seeing something for a Boss 5.4 next to a Windsor... Windsor looked like a model engine next to the Boss.

Edit:

to put a BOSS engine in a e series requires much modification work to towers and suspension...
and still the clearance for headers is extremely minimal..

here's a pic of the difference between a windsor and 4.6...
imagine the 5.4L...

by **FairmontXR6** » October 22nd, 2008, 5:48 pm

Wonder why they did the conversion???

(You can get some power from a Ford V8

)

by **Steady** » October 22nd, 2008, 5:50 pm

LS1s are around 9.2" deck I think vs 302 Windsor 8.2", so picture another 1" of block on a 302 and you are pretty close.

by **misk** » October 22nd, 2008, 6:01 pm

on the subject of conversions, do any ford folk ever fantasize about something like a 2jz conversion?
or just not really an option?
i guess the 4lt makes some pretty fkn decent power!

by **Dansedgli** » October 22nd, 2008, 6:09 pm

All the time but I dont want to put one in a falcon.

by **Frost** » October 22nd, 2008, 6:24 pm

Iv got a spare LS1 sitting in the shed, accompanied by a T56. Putting it in a falcon would require alot of time and money and mechanical knowledge. 2 of which I dont have

by **bentls** » October 22nd, 2008, 6:27 pm

cough em up kent ill put em in my ba and maybe hang onto it for a bit

OKE020 is clearly the best use of a 2J ever concieved.

by **Dansedgli** » October 22nd, 2008, 6:46 pm

yep for sure. That thing is the best.

by **ed40** » October 22nd, 2008, 8:37 pm

I can recognise the benfits and I appreciate the Ls series motors but **** me that is gay.

i'd love to put an LS1 in an EA or some shitter.
just coz

can't be that hard, people put LS1's in skylines!

by **LTDHO** » October 23rd, 2008, 6:37 am

Imagine if the Holden boys found out about this!!

We always had one up on them using our 9" diff, now we use their LS1's.....

Oh well, someone put a 6.0 in their e-series and rape some HSV's!

by **Gunns** » October 23rd, 2008, 6:53 am

Nah best idea is to put a typhoon engine in a VL

by **ClassicAU** » October 23rd, 2008, 7:12 am

Whoa, thats a bit different! Are the LS1 motors that much better than the Boss motors? I basicall know nothing about V8's, but I though with the quad cams the Boss would be superior? Maybe I should keep the AU and look for a wreaked SS!

by **ned** » October 23rd, 2008, 7:55 am

Steady, I just wet myself.

by **holmsy** » October 23rd, 2008, 7:57 am

LS1's shit all over BOSS's for ease/affordability of power

really? now that is interesting! thanks Stevo! I think I might start looking over at the dark side then.......

by **nothin suss** » October 23rd, 2008, 9:23 am

Basically just add cam, injectors, edit and maybe a manifold/tb and away you go!
So many 300rwkw SS's out there with bugger all major mods...

by **EFFalcon** » October 23rd, 2008, 9:26 am

the problem is... cam is a major mod on a LS1

by **stevo** » October 23rd, 2008, 9:27 am

Its more of a major mod on a BOSS!

by **Dansedgli** » October 23rd, 2008, 9:29 am

Isnt it like $2k for boss cams. Engine out job to swap them as well.

BOSS engines have aids.

by **nothin suss** » October 23rd, 2008, 9:36 am

Yeah for the price of quad cams for a boss you can get a cam, injectors and an edit for an LS1...
No wonder there is stacks of people belting about in them.

Who is online
