Will an LS1 fit under the hood?

that runner is awesome

 

Exactly.

You can do anything you want to any vehicle. The owner/builder is the limiting factor. How far do you want to take it with the resources, time, & money you have?

 

lol yeah i know its going to be up me how much money i spend and time i put into it. i might just go with the ls out of a chevy truck. do they put out as much hp as the vette motors?

 

the october issue of super chevy had a buildup of a 5.3L truck motor in it... the motor was from a junkyard for $800... with headers installed and painless wiring kit #60218 and cable throttle body (the year truck they got it from had drive-by-wire but I think 99-04 doesnt) they made 344hp and 370ft.lbs of tq the 6.0's have little more tq but near same hp... the vette motors make like 350hp-375 I think depending on year... personally the little 5.3's scream great motors... when they put on edelbrock performer heads and a comp cam... it went to 441hp 410 tq... but for the money I say stick it in stock except for headers and good tune up

 

It will fit, I have a buddy who was looking to do it. The only problem would be the unreal amount of custom work that would have to be done. plus fine tuning it....

possible on a 1st gen... 2nd gen??? fuggehtaboutit go buy something bigger

 

here is the one i referred to earlier.

 

Why?

Save yourself a ton of work and get onto racingjunk....you can probably find a built baja truck and save yourself a ton of headaches.....


Or, if you want a real challenge, but a ford V8 in it. You really have to throw some coin if you want to make any power with that.....

 

A bud of mine has a LS2 in a Jeep, goddamn that thing is fast!! I'll get some pics next time i see it.

 

It's the coolest sounding Civic:

Power is great but so is handling. Checked with Advance Adapters on a Chevy 4.3 to the Tacoma. Seems the 151 series trans is the main target. Mine has the W56 or whatever and not as swop friendly. Those 4.3's are dime a dozen now with some pretty good torque. I'll save the LT1 and 400 small block for the FJ40 and the big block goes in the Rat Rod.

 

man W56 is a very popular swap tranny most of the 80's 4x4's had them behind 22R or 22re I had one behind a L 2.2L diesel

 

All i gotta say is im my moms vette engine was in my taco.... wow!!!! that would be fum!!!

 

I'm doing an LS TACOMA SWAP....
