ok bro, to be fair to you i would not use my build as a "how much would it cost" type of deal. Only reason i say this is because i will be going full build,twin turbo,etc. now if someone wanted to do this on a budget, its very possible. 5.3 liter gen 3 motors can be had for around 400 bucks. i will be keeping tabs on how much i spend that way people get an idea.

Agreed! Sorry but you dont see me running around making rude comments, and as far as I know Im the first to actually put an LSx in an SC chassis. May not be finished, but I at least try to help with actual info.

boosted4.6, do your thing. Im really looking forward to your swap being completed and moving before mine is. BTW if you dont mind, do you have the PN for the master cylinder you used? I want to be sure Im ordering the right one

Millertime, thanks for clearing that up man. I just started working on my car and I don't see it taking me much longer. I do want to post all of the crap that I go through so people can learn from my experience. Please check up on my thread evey so often and shoot me your opinion. Like you said yours is running and that counts for a lot. Hopefully mine is running within two months.

Umm frankly to be bluntly honest, I never knew what parts you had, and never really paid attention to your swap after asking a couple questions and getting no response from you...so how are you going to accuse me of something like that?? Not my fault that we both have an LSx with similar parts/plans...get over yourself already. You contradicted your apology with that statement.


Sorry OP, just dont appreciate being called out on BS like that. Im done with my thread jacking.

WOW! I wonder what the hp is going to be? I think this is an insane build, but I would rather have a 2JZ.. IN for the finish build.
