LS1 in a LS?BumpinL December 24th, 2006, 03:10 AM Has anyone attempted, or thought about dropping the c5 ls1 motor into the LS? Like get the v6 w/ a 5 speed, and then swap the motors, and redo the tranny? I just heard about someone thinking about it on www.ls1tech.com , and i was JW if anyone here has heard of this? gt95coupe December 24th, 2006, 09:50 AM If I were to do that I would NOT go with a chevy motor. BumpinL December 24th, 2006, 11:37 AM ?? why not? But then again my other car is a 02 SS, so maybe im just biased strapp December 24th, 2006, 01:59 PM Great engine!! Easily modded. evillally December 24th, 2006, 03:17 PM If they can shove them into BWM's and older cars, then I don't see why not. You'll have to do a lot of fabbing to mount the motor and transmission. There will be a lot of wiring work to do; you'll need an LSx standalone harness and a harness for the 4L80e if you run automatic. It would be a badass sleeper, no doubt... BumpinL December 24th, 2006, 05:09 PM :eek: BumpinL December 24th, 2006, 05:10 PM O yea it would be fast. I drive an SS and a conti, but as i said before i was just kicking the idea around on here! And your right, it would be alot of work, but as w/ most hybrid swaps, there is!! Just an idea :) Quik LS December 29th, 2006, 09:53 AM spend some time searching the forums on engine swaps.... We discussed this many times. The fit and fab work is one thing, mating it to the car's electronics and bus is completely different. The Ford engineers couldn't even get there 4.6 Cobra engine to work with the LS - many of the systems - gauges, ..etc Is it do-able - sure - but you will not end up with a streetable car - unless you figure out the mating issue. Staying with a Ford motor (prossibly the newer Mustang which uses a similar PCM) would make the job easier to do. trilkb August 22nd, 2007, 01:09 AM Yea im with Quik, but for 1 i didnt know ford engineers tried to do the 4.6L cobra motor. i think for a sweet dream LS the 4.6L 03-04 cobra motor, and t-56 tranny need to find there way into the car lol. another option??? maybe the 4.0L supercharged jag motor from the XJR or whatever it is. 380hp or something. i forget the exact spects, its the supercharged version of like a soverign. but that supercharger is quite the word of art i dunno if it would all fit. be cool to do though, then upgrade to a better supercharger..could easily see close to 500hp.
