Looking for an ls1 or ls2 full pull, with a t56 tranny. Spaldings rapes people blind, so im not even going to consider their prices.
Maybe someone knows a wrecked fbod? GTO?
Anyone with access to the insurance auctions?

Help me out guys.
thanks.

Well my overall budget constraints just how much HP i can dump into it. So realisitically, i'd like to get the motor/trans for cheap. Depending on how much $ i have leftover, it could be H/C, or a blower.

Got anything in mind?

Can frequent the for sale section in LS1tech. Would more than likely have to pick it up or have it shipped but I am sure you can find a better deal there than you would with Spaldings.

Swap in a B16

The idea is to make more power, not less.
Besides, swapping in a b16 would throw off the whole handling of the car. Piston motors weigh so much.

ya most people dont want to mess with rotaries cause of lack of knowledge/experience and funds that's why its easy way out to go with an LS series.

GTIKyle
10-10-2008, 06:17 PM
Easy way out? I don't see this as a cop-out to a problem.

Have you ever owned a rotary car? You must know how inherantly reliable they are. You must also be aware on how much aftermarket support there is, and how redily available parts are for them. Or how "cheap" it is to modify them.

I really don't want to start a debate about this, but seriously, if you're going to compare an LSx series motor to a rotary motor, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle.

I will admit that rotaries are different, and in their own right kind of cool. Do i want to spend 6+ grand on upgrading this motor, just to have it last < 5k miles? Not one bit. I'm not made of money, just like any other joe out there. So i will take the more efficient route here. Less money, more HP. Would you build a ferrari motor, just because it makes more power/displacement? Do you have 20k for a motor lying around? Seems easier to build a Mopar SB huh?

I like having a driver, with power. I like to know everytime i turn the key, that nothing is likely to go wrong. And if something DID happen to go wrong, i can fix it at a moments notice, from parts available nearly anywhere. I've owned rotary cars, i know what nightmares they can be. I've also owned an LS1 Rx7 before.


If you want the rotary to stick in a camaro or firebird, i'd be happy to sell it to you.

An LS motor can take quite a beating there is guys making upward toward 700rwhp on a STOCK BOTTOM END LS1. I myself made 554rwhp and 601rwtq on a stock heads, bottom end and cammed and sprayed 02 LS1 and drove it daily for 30k miles and put 3 years worth of track passes on it and when I took it out to replace it with the 6.0L I have in my car now it looked like the motor had never seen nitrous and like some old lady was driving it. On top of everything else I looked on ebay and it seems that those Hemi motors aren't cheap. He said he wants to make power and not spend a ton of $$. I in fact remember my buddy's cam only 99 Vert SS put a pretty good whoppin on that procharged mustang of yours before you owned it lol. If you want to go fast and not spend a ton of $$ the LS motors are the way to go.

Oh quit with the 'dodge motors own all no matter what case or senario' bs...

The OP is asking about where to find a LSX motor... not a carb'd hemi. If he was torn on the issue and wanted opinions on some 'good' motors to toss in that would be a different issue.

Each motor has their up's and downs and since he's already weighed that out and decided on the LSX motor... how bout you keep your narrow-minded, dodge-loving opinions elsewhere...

THANK YOU!!!!!!
nobody can honestly say the LS engine is not a good choice for any swap PERIOD!! it only weighs 415# w/o accessories, it has HUGE horse power capabilities, unlike the new hemi's that dodge themselves say cant handle over 500 fwhp without issues, they say the LS motors are arguably the best motors out there,,,,, i dont think there is any arguing to it i'm sold. i know i've got a 3700# car with a bone stock ls1 long block thats got a cam, intake, and some exhaust running 11.80's @ 117mph with no power adders, and still gets 21mpg on the hwy and never have to worry about it. as for price, parts availability, reliabilty, and performance, chevy has always been at the top of the list, always!! and while the quickest cars in the world are powered by hemi's(kinda) we all aren't on a top fuel budget.....

Wow, thanks everyone to chiming in their opinions on what is ultimately my decision. I have weighed the options...there are reasons that i chose an LS over a hemi, or 4g63, or metro motor....etc. I feel this thread is not the one to justify any of it, just wanted to see if anyone had a motor i can buy :-\

So now that's been established, yes, i am looking for an LS2 preferably at this point. Perhaps it won't be "cheap" trannyman, but i know i can find a good deal if i keep my eyes open.

Agreed!

I remember helping Jamie (94bluegsx) Look for an LS swap for his FD, and picking up something with higher miles and iffy tranny was still spending over 6K. You have all the FC and FD guys as well as the LT camaro and T/A guys looking for any one of the LS motors. Those motors are more in demand right now than honda vtec motors. Theres just NO WAY your gonna pick up an LS for under 6k, and thats an LS1, looking for an LS2 or later is gonna be more money.

Personaly i think you should look at like 351 ford motor. Considering that ford owns mazda, it would be kinda cool.

Or even better, do a 2JZ. not really pheasable, but still cool.

Im just sayin over the last year and a half or so, those motors have become quite popular with the swap crowd, so prices have gone up. Its the issue of supply and demand.

If I've learned anything in my short tenure of modding cars, it's to keep it simple (stupid!).

The LSx has been swapped into the FD hundreds of times. It's proven that it works, it's not that heavy, its reliable, the potential is there, etc. etc.

I don't know about you, but I love when I get in the z06 that when I turn the key it's going to start every time and everything is gonna work.

What rotary powered car making over 300 whp can honestly say that? My car put down 372 whp in DENVER and still has 100% OEM reliability.

Some people actually like driving their cars, and the rotary motor puts a huge damper on that. Don't believe me? Let one sit for over a month and try to start it and let me know what happens.

I like the way the rx7's look. Not to mention they are one of the best handling production cars ever made (within a reasonable budget)

I won't lie, I am a pretty diehard domestic guy, but if a later Rx7 came by at a good deal, I would snatch that thing up and probably do the same thing you are looking at doing.

Will keep my eye out for any deals that might pop up. Could make a post in the f/s section of the NW members area on LS1tech.com and can also check out car-parts.com for other wrecking yards around the country.

I am sure you probably already know but just incase look for the 01+ LS1 engines. Come with the LS6 Intake so it flows a little better. Think this also applies to all LS2 engines also.

Thanks bud. I think i've decided to go with an LS2 at this point. Car-parts.com is kind of a crap shoot, and you have to do alot of calling. But its not a bad resource. I didnt think of the NW section of LS1tech...might look into that. Thanks :)

I know everyone is looking for ls1/ls2's but the 5.3/6.0 truck motors (lm7/lq4/etc) can be very good alternatives. They can be found very cheap are are much more plentiful. If you can stand the extra 80 pounds they can be had for 1/4 to 1/2 the price of a ls1.

Considered...but still going the LS2 route.

You could always double the weight of your car with my engine, would be a good jumpstart to a 12v=P.

I honestly haven't heard of too many, if at all doing the 6.0, so I'm just going with the masses. I've been donating at the sperm bank every week for the last 6 months so I should be ready to roll by spring hopefully...or probably not.
