LS1 swap tips/tricks?
**No Trolls please**
Doing an LS1 and T56 swap on my 240 hatch. Just waiting to order the conversion kit now and I’m gonna start putting the motor and trans in. I’m just looking for tips and advice from anyone who has LS swapped their 240 and what will make my life easier for this swap and how to save some money. Thanks! |

Heres where you start out wrong....
Before asking any of us, have you done the research? There are plenty of builds to follow both on here and LStech.

Yes I have. What’s wrong with getting more info for a build? Not everyone has the same experiences. Are you here to actually give advice? If not you’re just wasting our time

If you would have even spent an hour searching you would see I'm running a full swap LS right now. Good luck, since you have done all the research. Don't get mad when you fire off a thread about how you should build your car, especially when you haven't listed anything about parts.

Lame ass kid wanting all the work done for him. Why not buy a car completed since your ass is too lazy to look shit up. Again..its you wasting time. You still cant answer a question as to what kit, what parts, etc.

Unless you're a baller, stay away from Sikky. They are the Kanye West of the LS swap world, they love themselves about as much as Kanye too.
Holley makes LS swap stuff now, check them out, really affordable and fits well. When it comes to installing the actual engine in the car, make sure the starter is installed and wired before you install the passenger exhaust manifold. When it comes to the driver side exhaust manifold, go ahead and pull the steering column, the Hooker headers require the steering column to be removed before the driver side exhaust manifold can be installed. Fuel pump, go ahead and upgrade. Aeromotive Stealth works well and leaves some room for growth. |

|And I am NOT a baller. A discounted Jegs cam is worth more than the engine I used. Hell a stock set of 240sx wheels might be worth more than my motor. lol speaking of which, save some money use a truck engine. Both the 6.0L and L33 apparently supports 1000rwhp in a daily application for significant period. I can't get over that. |

LSX into an S-Chassis isn't rocket science, frustrating, but not overly complicated. Check youtube for motortrends swap.
