May I ask what an LS1 is? Is it a special engine?

[Tonner]

Its your common Generation 3, 5.7L Chev V8 found commonly in SS, Berlina, calais, statesman/caprice and all HSV range (except the XU6 VX) between VT series 2 and the VZ

ok great. Thanks heaps!

That counts me out. I just got the standard V6. Can't wait to pick her up.

:eek: Tell me your joking how did you find this site?!?

The LS1 is the v8 engine that has been used in VTII-VZ commodores. GenIII is another name for this motor.
Up untill recently it was the same motor in Corvettes but they now have the LS2 which is a 6.0L V8 same one used in the current VZ HSV models.

I dont know of a LS3 but there is a LS7 which is in the current Z06 corvette this is a 427ci motor (7.0L)

I found it whilst researching for my recent purchase of the SVZ (runnout version of the executive) The members of this forum are very responsive. I'm getting addicted I think.:rofl:

Now you'll be wishing you were getting a V8!!! :drool:

Was wondering when you would post in this thread BigFella

[2001 ITR]

Wow. What a big job!

Some of the front wheel drive to rear wheel drive conversions (Focus) already have a “transmission tunnel” that the prop shaft can run in, looks like that guy is making his own. I wonder if he also thought about a second generation Legend coupe, that was still FWD but had a longitudinal V6 rather than the usual transverse arrangement.

If you haven`t already seen `em, you can find pics of my project (LS1 into a Vauxhall Astra Coupe) here .................... http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460867

Not at all mate.
The complete drivetrain, ecu and loom, came from a 2004 GTO only covered 14,000 miles. £2335 plus £800 for shipping VAT and UK duty.
I sold my engine and g/box for £2500, and have spent around £1500 since then, no labour charges, as I`m doing it together with a mate, otherwise the cost would`ve been horrendous :eek:
