Honestly I think I can get an even better deal then that. Sounds like I will be buying J daniels ls1 thats got a couple mods done to it for $1,800, he says it made 450hp so thats a pretty good base to start with before I go the forced induction route. All I need is a tranny which I can pick up for around a grand, an ecm which I’ll get a tuned one for around $120 and a wiring harness which is around $300-350. I’ll have a total of a little over $3k into this set up and I speculate another $500-800 in custom fab work/parts to the suspension and drive shaft to make things work right and im gonna estimate my mechanic charging me no more then $2k tops of labor so I can have this project 100% complete for around $5k which is pretty damn cheap… Not to mention since all my stock motor needed was a coil pack im gonna replace that and sell that for probably $1,500 so that def helps me get some of the money back for the build.
