So then what are we even talking about? Saying that a person can do an LS swap for x amount of dollars means nothing since there are several different LS motors. I said how much mine was and you said it could be done for cheaper... but you are not even talking about an LS3

Then the fact there is the way a backyard specialist would do it and the way I would do it. I don't mind spending the extra money to make it over the top... so I'm not a good example of what it costs to do this swap. As I said, Peter Tarach would be a good example of that.

I agree with this. I mean, theoretically, one could argue that any LS swap could be done for super cheap if you make your own mounts, steal the swap from a car, etc. I don't promote that whatsoever; theives deserve to die. However in theory one could do it and there's a big chunk of your cost. Kind of dumb to ask broadfield how much it costs then say it can be done cheaper. It's clear the man does quality shit by the amount of AN lines he's running.

Then you are mixing apples and oranges, therefor your argument is invalid.

It's common sense that a stock ls1/t56 can be bought and swapped in cheaper than a crate/built ls3 & t56 plus swap.

it was pertaining to the other guy talking about his swap.i misread where he said it was ls3. i was just implying about not having to spend money on making things right, dont have to buy stuff to do it the right way - that was the message. anyways, cool build.

Hey Toby quick question. Did your Sikky kit come with a plug for the bold dip stick location?

Yes, Sikky supplies that plug you just have to have a tap to thread the dip stick hole.

JDM_Tuner · 10-20-2011, 09:29 PM

I'm not sure if you bought the LS3 yet but there's a guy he in KC selling a new LS7 still in the crate. It's around the price your gonna pay for the ls3, so i just thought I'd let you know. Here's the link not to much info tho

2006 Vette Z06 LS7 New in the crate

Slammed180 · 10-20-2011, 09:34 PM

I won't have pics of mine for probably a month or so. The bay is getting repainted because it's a couple shades off. However, if you have a "fabricator", then he shouldn't need pics of anything... he'll just fabricate whatever you want!?!

Thanks, but it seems sketchy. That motor is worth much more than that if it truly is "brand new in the crate". That or it's missing a bunch of stuff.

I have had my motor for months now... hell, it's sitting in the engine bay.

Well, I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag... but I feel it's my duty to keep you guys updated. I also don't want rumors spreading that I'm doing Chaser Aero or Version Select.

So I am officially going pop-up shark nose... I don't think anyone will see it coming.

I was trying to find a way to bring the Blonde Jesus into this thread but thought if anyone should, it should be Toby.

American Flag/Bald Eagle full rear-window vinyl.
"RIP #3 God Needed a Driver" montage on rear bumper.
Calvin pissing on Ford emblem license plate frame.

Merry fucking Christmas.

LS7 is internally weak being the sleeves are shit. LS3 is a better motor IMO, especially for the price.

Fearell · 10-21-2011, 01:19 PM

Finally ditching the Silvia front. That was always my least favorite thing about your car =)

kyles1988 · 10-21-2011, 01:28 PM

Yeah the sil front sucks. can't wait to see it with the shark nose.

pacotaco345 · 10-21-2011, 02:28 PM

I was hoping to see a ghetto-modded piggy front with the vents sawz-all'd out, what a let down

SaNTi · 10-21-2011, 02:38 PM

I thought you were doing an S14 front end? all Forrest Wang like.

I think it looks good w/ a rocket bunny kit sil80 kit, but outside of that, it sucks to source parts if you fuck it up.

kanekoa28 · 10-21-2011, 06:50 PM

goodluck broadfield clean a$$ sr.

Im debating if I should do a ls2 swap. I found a complete camaro for 1k just the rear end is smashed. But it is auto so i would have to look for a trans

LS2's never came in the Camaro FYI. You will find them in 2005-06 GTO's and 2006-07 Vettes. The newer Camaro has LS3, same as the Vette. If you are on the fence about it, do yourself a favor and take a ride. Just the idea was enough for me, but a ride confirmed I had made the right choice.

Has anyone considered that Toby may have sourced a true Nismo kit? Subtle, urethane and uber rare.
