That forum sucks ass. There are maybe 2-3 people there who have complete running cars, and even then their stuff isn't reliable enough to be daily.

Everyone else on there is just wishful thinking at best. Seems like nobody wants to put down money for fabrication and always trying to cut corner.

If you want help on your setup just PM me. I have your exact swap.

All you'll get there is putdowns because you don't have an LS-series.

Oh, no I just figured that others might like to see it there too, if you actually do research, you'll find a few on there are done up nicely. Mine's on there too.

haha trust me, I don't need you help, just offering mine....

Your car would be the exception rather than the rule. You're one of the few who have running swaps. There are a couple of people I would take advice from. The rest of them is like the blind leading the blind. Do you agree?

Is yours daily driveable btw?

As for help, I was talking to the OP and his friend. I would not go to that forum asking for help because no one has his exact setup on there. All you'll get are putdowns because they like LS-series more than carb.



I don't care about power. I want 400 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels. What's cheaper?

Nothing. American muscle takes that crown forever.

I mean between GenI and LS-series. What's cheaper to get 400 ft-lbs?

Yea know, it's hard to say...all things considreed of course. I bet both would be surprizingly close in costs in the grand scheme of things, assuming neither team started with a good, free bottom end or engine.
