smoorenc Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I bought this 2002 LS1 and 6 speed yesterday on ebay. Lucked out and the guy is only 90 miles south of me. Putting it in a '76. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=280016941489&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT Hopefully picking it up this weekend.....

Workinprogress Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's an LS1, but you still got a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoorenc Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Opps thats what I meant.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1 240Z Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 i agree, decent deal for a LS1/T56 combo. snag as much stuff from the donor car the guy will let you. do you plan on camming it? the 2002-4 LS1s are the best because they have good oil return, stronger rod bolts, LS6 intakes and LS6 clutches. you could easily see 400+ rwhp with swaping your rod bolts, oil pump, timing chain, cam and springs.

rubin Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 you could easily see 400+ rwhp with swaping your rod bolts, oil pump, timing chain, cam and springs. why would he need to swap rod bolts, oil pump and timing chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoorenc Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 swaping your rod bolts, oil pump, timing chain, cam and springs. I think the engine/drive train swap and body restore will be enough $$$ for now.... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Have you decided what mounts you are going to use yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1 240Z Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 why would he need to swap rod bolts, oil pump and timing chain? cant spin the motor to 7k without rod bolts, stock rod bolts stretch. the stock oil pumps have sometimes been known to fail and not have enough volume for upper RPMs. the LS2 timing chain is 40 bucks from GM. its a much better design than the LS1 style. if you are going to cam it all that stuff is right under the front cover, so you might as well change it so you dont regret it later.

We are looking at John's Cars http://www.brokenkitty.com/zcar/zcar.htm Hopefully they are good. I found the link in another thread here.

280Z28 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Didn't 2000+ LS1s have a revised oil pump? Either way, this is the one I'd be taking care of for sure. Rod bolts aren't necessary unless he has a big cam. Edit: Obviously I mean aftermarket rod bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
