I will say take it from someone that tryed to go that route, it is not cheap at all to try and go ls1. It will take either time if you want to find the best deals or money if you want it done quick. I spent $5000 and ran out of funds and still needed alot. It'd be much easier if you save up and buy a complete swap with everything because those parts will nickle and dime you to death. That being said also don't cheap out and try to save money with the truck motors either because they won't work without alot of extra money for different accessories and intake. And make sure to get valvesprings and an accusump if you plan on sliding with it. Edited by Sean, Apr 14 2010, 04:33 PM.
