So tell us about the LS engine that is in your car. How hard was the conversion and what is a cost estimate on something like that? This might be old news to some of these guys but this is first time I have seen it.

I like it!



Well I bought a package deal of three motors and used all of them to make one good one. It's got a cam, ported throttle body headers and a tune. Other than that it's stock. Greg at Anti Venom assembled the motor for me. I did all the work on the swap in my garage.
As for the effort involved for someone familar with LS motors it wouldn't be bad at all. I on the other hand had no knowledge on them so I had lots of questions. Piecing together all the needed things was the worse part. For price, the car was on the cover and featured in Vette Magazine last year as a budget brawler. I've got right at 5 grand in the swap. Not a typical price as again I did all the work myself and got some screaming deals on parts. Mine was also made easier in the sense that I already had analog gauges in my car so I didn't have to intagrate the digital dash.

Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!! Truth be told I'm itching to do another. I've got lots of great ideas that would make it so much better than what I did before. I recently bought a 2000 WS6 and plan on using that engine to build a nasty little street motor to take the place of this one and this one will end up in a Studebaker I'm building.

Any more questions just ask, I'd be happy to answer them.
