what is the max GM LS engine to fit in SC400
#32
Do you realize how much a LS7 engine is? its a waste of money considering.... You can get a LS2 + T-56 6-speed + super charger for less money and be making 500+ HP to the wheels reliably.
and if you plan on doing a LSx swap, here is a FAQ i started:

I'll say from BOTH a power output and fuel economy stanpoint, the LS1 is far superior to any motor Toyota made in the 90's. I've owned a 1992 2JZ/5 speed SC300, a 1995 Caddy Fleetwood with the LT1, a 1999 Z28 Camaro/LS1 automatic t-top, and a 1998 LS1/6 speed manual Z28 Camaro drop top.
Guess what, I got around the same fuel economy in all of those cars, except the Caddy got around 15-17mpg in town, 23mpg highway. The LS1 v8 is far superior in stock form to the 2JZ except in smoothness and quietness, it gets about the same gas mileage, and has about 100 more horsepower stock.
EDIT: All that being said, the SC300 is screwed together about a billion times better than those GM tanks, handles a lot nicer, and its a bit quicker than that Cadillac boat(not by very much, that Cadillac would give the SC300 hell off the line)
