Guest polarity Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I have been offered the chance to pickup the motor from a 2002 z06 vette. it's the ls6 i belive (454) has anyone put one of these into there z. would it involve any cutting of the firewall or anything to make more room. If it will drop in I think I'll buy it. If it requires cutting or anything of that nature, I will most likely steer clear as I dont have the tools or the knowledge for it Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Once again the search button suffers from lack of use. C5 LS6 != 454. C5 LS6 == LS1. Go here, enter "LS1" in the keyword box and hit the search button on the bottom..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Car is Slow Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Itll fit fine...its simply an LS1 with a differnet intake, cam, and a few other goodies I believe. and by the way..an LS1/LS6 is 346ci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Damn Cracker Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 It's the old-school ls6's that are 454 ci. They were an option on some c2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 The Vette LS6 engine is also 405 HP. Should make an absolute killer Z engine. Without question the engine I would like to find used and cheap. All aluminum block, good flowing heads, streetable, distributorless ignition. Killer Like the guys have said, externally the same dimensions as the LS1 small block, so reading past posts should give you an idea what is involved with the swap. Haven't done it my self but from what I have read it is not as straight forward as a standard iron SBC. Performance parts are not as common and thus more pricey, but with 405 HP you may have all the engine you will want. Search on LS1 and you will get more info then you could possibly absorb.

pparaska Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I agree 2002 LS6 would be killer. Talk to Lingenfelter's company - they have a $5K supercharge kit that adds about 115 HP to it. http://www.lingenfelter.com/pac350magscc5.asp a 520hp supercharged LS6 would be sweet. Car and driver noted a 1/2 second of lag from cruise to kick-in-the-back. That's because of the bypass valve closing. $5K is a pile o' money though. a 427 ci LS1/LS6 would be cool too. Again, it's tons of money - 5 figures from lingenfelter and Doug Rippie. Surely someone is building them cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Car is Slow Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 The ATI kit is cheaper...AND puts down more power than the lig kit There are one of each in town....the ATI kitted one absolutely stomps all over the lig modded one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frank280z Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I just got prochargers pamphlet in the mail. Shows a 99 ls1 with 575 @ the flywheel running 7psi. They say the Z06 motor will have the same #s due to the higher compression and max of 6psi. Doesn't show any prices though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Car is Slow Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I dont recall the exact number...but the shop that did it mentioned it was significantly cheaper than the lig kit. laid down 11.27@127mph on drag radials...with zero tuning and zero other mods.
