Guest johnny1913 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Say I have a complete and running LS1 with all the sensors and accesories to make it run. Other than a tranny, custom driveshaft, JTR mounts, what do I need? I need to know what else will cost money, so I know whether I can pursue a V8Z or not. -Nate '72 240z, stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigWhyteDude Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 tools, lots and lots of tools. cut off wheel, ratchets,sockets, air compresor, wrenches, im all out of stuff but i KNOW there is more you need. The ls1 will not work with the JTR mounts. If you have an LT1 it will work with the JTR mounts. By the way use the search funchtion. And post when you have a specific question you need answered.

Tim240z Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Yes, as said above, the JTR kit will not help you. You will have to make your own mounts. There is a huge amount of info about the LS1 conversion on this site, do a search and you will find that most, if not all, of your questions will be answered.

Phantom Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Contact John@johnscars.com. He has motor mounts, transmission mounts, air conditioning compressor and mount, fuel pump and pressure valve, headers, etc. for an LS1 conversion. Click below to see the conversion on my car. From the donor car you will want engine, transmission, PCM, radiator fans & shroud, engine wiring harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rick458 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Phantom; you have an incredible car. when I finish my 260 that is the look I will be aiming for. 2 of my workmates have LS1 SS cameros and they were low 13 sec cars before they started modding them. Have you run it at Ennis yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Just once. Best was a 13.2, 108 mph. Mojor problems with me not knowing what I was doing and getting the rear tires to hook up. Lone Star 1 ran an 11.9 that same night with his LS1 240Z with the 4L60E automatic. Mine has the T56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I know this is kind've off point-but has anyone seen the "Hot Rod" Sept 2003 Issue? It has an article on a 450ci C5R (of the LS Engine Family Series). If you have deep pockets and want cubes...check out the magazine: needless to say it produced some incredible tq/hp numbers. The article gave all the required data & progressive dyno runs w/a handful of different metering bodies & air cleaners; it was a good article.
