Yes, and about 80-100 pounds.

 

so really a good package would be to put the 6.0 aluminum heads on the ls1 with a radix and a nice cam. What does anyone think about rwhp levels. I looked on ebay and you can pick up the ls1 for around 2500-4000. Alot of these are also coming with a transmission. Never hurt to have a extra one.

 

scream,

how much did it end up costing you when all said and done?

 

I might not be a good example...I got the longblock for $500, and then did the following:

• ARP main studs, head bolts, rod bolts
• new cam bearings
• new Clevite 77 "H" series bearings
• new GM rings
• 31# 8.1L injectors
• TR 224 cam
• 918 springs and TR pushrods from old setup

I haven't added everything up yet, but if I'm not mistaken I came in at just under $2500. My goal was to come in under 1/2 the price of the beloved, almighty Radix, and I think that I succeeded.

 

yea gj. and your probably makin more power than you would of gotten with one on your 4.8

 

Stock short block can't handle much juice? 200 did just fine on my stock short block.

 

Were the 8.1 injectors direct replacements?

 

Hopefully because that is what I am going to be running in my LS1 here in a week or so.

Scream does that 224 lope much? Mine is on a 112lsa and I want it to kinda be a secret to unsespecting cars without turning the idle up too much

I am haveing a ton of stuff done to my heads too P&P, big valves, milled down .30 and some other things. I think the LS1 swap will definatly be worth it.

 

The 8.1L injectors are a direct swap. The TR224 cam has a little chop to it, but can be hidden well with a quiet exhaust. Although, I haven't had mine tuned yet.

 

Now I am thinking it might not be worth all the effort since I am now keeping my T/A.

I talked with one of the guys at STS (rear mount turbo guys) and if I can get the right deal I may just go with one of those and the SMC Alk kit. This way I don't have to do any swaps and makes it nice and easy for smog next year. Plus I like the idea of a turbo
