I know a guy who can get me a LS1 motor for real real real cheap and its a compleat motor..should i do that swap or 6.0? The LS1 has 60000miles on it but im going to an automotive school and i can rebuild it or have it machined to whatever i want.. What all whould i need besids swaping the intake on the LS1 to make it work in my truck?

 

for real cheap= ls1

 

you dont need to swap your intake... you going to need the pcm for the engine

 

I know i need a PCM but dont i need to change the water pupmp and modify the injecter rails is i use the LS1 intake? Also will the LS1 trans bolt into my truck? I know its an automatic so im guessing its a 4l60e or maybe a 65e? Or should i just use my truck trans?

 

what engine do you have now?

 

everyone here is guna say 6.0 but i havent seen a 5.7 ls1 truck put down bad numbers yet. if i can ever talk the guy whos motor i bought to take it outa his car ill be be adding a ls1 to my truck

 

Id be asking for my money back. Sicne you already gave him the money he probably isnt too worried about getting it out of there soon, meanwhile he is racking up the miles and ******* the **** out of it. Get your money back or get your motor

If you can get an LS1 for cheap then go that route, not enough difference between two to justify the cost.

 

Sroach- I have a 4.8 now..

 

if you have a 4.8 you could use your trans, computer , and everything on an ls1 or 6.0. trans is a 4l60e and yes youd have to rig your wp and stuff to use the ls1 intake. stock computer will work even without a tune, it would go better with a tune.

 

Well the ls1 comes with a trans is it the same on in my truck? Also i would build it wile im in school so i would put a cam and heads or maybe bore and stroke it...the possibiltys are endless..haha
