LOL. Truth. I always love how people look at the initial cost of things, and base their entire opinion on that. In the end, any swap is going to be expensive, so I'd rather have the best bang for buck. To me, a VQ is a big waste of time for lack of power. That LS1 stock would walk circles around a bolt on vq....

He doesn't act that way on Altima forums....which is odd why he does that here.

I think it sounds cool as hell. I'd do it. I'd build it.

Any v8 in a s chassis would rock hard...vh/vk/ls1/Windsor based...anything

I gave you out of box weight from GM for the LSx engine. The weight they gave you isn't correct. I'll believe GM and the shipping company before a random guy with a scale. You also realize how easy it is to read wrong and or manipulate scales right?

You're entitled to your opinion, but it's just that...nothign factual at all behind why you think that way, and certainly nothing of value to sway others into believing that way. Weight differences are negotiable...even if the LS1 did weight 200 more (even though it doesn't), it's still an excellent swap candidate!

The same.

PS: Why would anyone EVER goto ebay looking for real world prices.

That's your opinion...but technically, performance and application wise it's wrong.

These guys were paying over 4500 for the motor and trans alone, and another 7K in install and parts. This swap is a pipe dream.

That doesn't mean they all cost that much. Some guys can swap in SR20's for half the price of others, and make the same power.

You've added nothign informative aside from engine weights that are certainly (and easily) debateable.

Ebay ...the performance headquarters of those who can't afford real projects since 2001. (Sarcasm, but Im' sure those who understand get my point)
