Im sure they used the ls1 because it is cheaper and easier to find then another termi engine or 331 that you posted dave
pretty cool
actually I read about the real reason lol I just wanted to start up some furry before I said why…
real reason why they went with the LS1 was because they wanted N/A power, that a aftermarket blower was going to put down on the Cobra motor…thats why its a 383 LS1…540rwhp…
they went to a lighter, N/A motor with just as much power as a aftermarket blower terminator because its a road coarse car and on a road coarse, the blower gets some serious heat soak. Being N/A…it eliminates all those heak soak worries. Heat soak was the real reason why they scrapped the 4v motor.
a fully dressed LS1 with the tranny attatched weighs around 520lbs…those 4v motors weigh alot more.
The REAL reason they put it in, is b/c the car was TOTALLED, and they bought it back from the ins company on the cheap cheap. THe original motor was destroyed, and they bought a cheap LSx to put in it.
HAd it been my car, I would have built a 351W based motor, as they have just as much potential as a LS1 does.
All they did was take the cheap route for N/A hp, which is gay, but w/e.
okay wow lets pay more for the same power.
who’s in?

It can happen when your baller.
But srsly, I like the SC 4V ALOT better than an LS1, but for road racing its not the greatest choice. No S/C app is really, they heat soak very quickly, and require alot of cooling mods to keep it down during a long event. Id prefer a N/A car for that shit for obvious reasons. But like I said, you can build a 4V N/A motor up, of a 302/351W based motor that will do anything the LS1 will. He’s just a cross-breeder. Im sure he fucks his mother as well…
crossbreeders ftw in some cases
SR20 AE86
Northstar AW11
LS1 NA
2JZ S13/14
shit like dat
P
In this case, FTL.
Similar to taking out a K20 and swapping in a B-Series. Something that made ALOT more power stock, for something a bit lighter, that STOCK made less power.
To each his own though, plenty of faggots taking it in the ass too, doesnt mean everyone is gonna do it. (Except PJB)
i’m not sure, but i heard somewhere that cammed LS1’s dyno lower than non pullied terminators. that’s just what i heard though. :ponder
:rofl +rep lol
anytime you want to line them up,let me know ;). First you got to beat the pullied one tho. All my car proves is that it takes less hp in a LS1 to beat a higher HP cobra 
NOT from a dig. Fucker.
Dig or bust!
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< doesnt dig. I dig with tractors, not cars.
