Guest Anonymous Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 found a place that I can get a LS6 and a 6-speed, for fairly cheap and I have another 240 that is begging for a swap. So I am thinking that a LS6 Z-car would be the best of all the worlds, run a 3:54 R200 in the back, and with the 6-speed should get awsome miledge and have 405HP on tap. To the best of my knoledge the biggest issues is the exaust on the LS motors are a clearance issue is this correct? or are the other problomes as far as fitting goes. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Wow, whats cheap? That would be an awesome swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I think it is Street & Peformance who offers a motormount adapter to put a Gen III LS motor onto stock GM mounts. With that setup, you should possibly be able to use the JTR setback plates. S&P makes nice stuff, but nothing cheap, so be forewarned. The John's Cars deal might be better since you know it'll work and he's got exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Would the LS6 mounting be any different than the LS1? Have numerous good threads on installing LS1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The John's Cars deal might be better since you know it'll work and he's got exhaust. S&P set back plates and JTR Kit? Don't count on it! I looked into it and it has accessory clearance issues an would be more trouble than buying the stock Corvette mounts from S&P or anywhere else. Plus the JTR setup with S&P set back plates would mean bolting a setback plate to a setback plate, which really increases leverage on the block and Datsun mounting towers. Mounting an LS6 will be the same as an LS1. The pan and motor mounts are different, but you will have to make, or get special mounts anyway. Cyrus used the same mounts that come on the LS6. John's cars uses Camaro mounts. It looks good so far. I got a peek at it. Phantom can tell you more. At this point his conversion is also a one off. John has not started selling kits. If you get the stock mounts with the LS6, you can just do what cyrus did, or wait for kit. Search this forum for LS1 stuff. I have some of my pics and 2 pics from Cyrus here http://www.geocities.com/maichor75104/photos3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
