If the LS1 was as stright forward of a swap as an SR I would do it in a heartbeat. NASCAR noise FTW!!! LOL FYI I hate NASCAR. But I do like a good small block. ---

There was one on Pinks the other day. If I were to do a LS1 I think I would just do a Camaro but that’s just me. I’ve always liked the idea of a 1 or 2JZ in a 240 though. All though I do love NASCAR and the rumble of a V8 :yawinkle: ---

LS1 FTW, having 300 Ft-LBs of torque just off idle is such a small car must be fun. And it weights the same if not less than a Turbo 4 banger and definently weighs less than a Turbo 6. ---

^^ hahaaha maybe… I guess if you’re made of time and money an LS7 swap would be great. 😛 If you’re on a budget go LT1 over LS1 ---

Actually, the LS makes more power, revs higher, is more reliable, and gets better fuel economy than the LT1. Not to mention, mods on the LS1 gain you more power overall. I’d be excited to see a nicely swapped V8 240 - that would be awesome! 😃 ---
