Question 240 Ls1 ?Question

How feasible is a S13 LS1, Swap?

What are the Major issues you can run into?

Roughly Counting all the small shit and trips to AutoZone and the shell & motor how much would one cost $$ ?

and last but not least does it cost more than 8,000 I've seen people say it costs any where from 5-12k all said and done I am assuming that the quality starts coming into play once you get that region ??

Any help and direction would be nice...

The only major issue I know of is that you're not putting it into an fd.

Hinson is overpriced. Check out Sikky's LS1 swap kits.

I think you can pull it off under 8 pretty easily as long as you do the swap yourself and do the wiring. I mean, if you spend 4000 on a wrecked F-body with complete motor/trans, then spend 2500 on the Sikky mount kit you'll have another 1500 to get a clutch and other odds and ends. You can piece a motor together for way cheaper then 4k...but I can speak from experience it kind of sucks, haha.
