I'm with this guy on this one. We had a member on here a while back who did this. In the end I think he sold the car, or parted it out, I forget, but it was badass. His forum name was Syst if I remember correctly.hvyman;1878090 said:
Another benefit to this (other than the beautiful sound), the LS motors take well to boost as well. Ask IJ sometime. Oh, and there is the handling benefit of losing 80ish lbs off the nose, and positioning the weight further back in the chassis...
I'm sorry, but a light up "camaro" has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. All the times I had fun with my car, I sure as shit didn't want people identifying my car if I could help it.Turbo Habanero;1878096 said:
1UZ is mostly bolt in, but it's only a 4.0. The LS motor is far larger displacement, and parts are available and cheap to make a lot of power (something the 1UZ lacks)

1uz is about as bolt in as the LSx motors. The Mk4 chassis is another story. It drops right in that one.

I think Top Secret did a twin turbo 1UZ Mk4 a while back and made like 1200hp, but again, it's Top Secret and I'm pretty sure they custom fabbed damn near everything in the car. So I agree with Poodles, the market for parts for a 1uz is very limited, whereas the LS motors have stuff readily available damn near everywhere. I think an all-motor LS build would be effin sick in an Mk3. You'll scare the crap out of everyone, especially if it's got a heavy cam setup. People might think the car is broken and about to die...until you leave the line with the front end in the air haha

ls6 is the same as the ls1 except different cam, intake, a slight bump in compression, better heads with a lighter valvetrain. There are few differences in the blocks but very minor. They were built for the c5 Z06 and put out 405hp compared to the ls1 350hp rating. Both have the same 5.7l displacement.
Oo, I don't know that much about american motors, but I know that the ls1 is a pretty good engine
Cams intake exhaust and tune and your at like 600hp. That's all you really need unless you want to get crazy. Big core solid cams sound sick.
Supercharged LS in an Mk3...DO IT! I would recommend an upgraded rear end, that much power and you're liable to break something. Just my opinion. You might be fine on the stock rear end, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Just my $.02GImk3;1878531 said:
Awesome! LS6/M6 should be a wicked setup.
Im waiting for someone to chime in "but a 2JZ blah blah blah...."

Must be getting late, that was the funniest thing I've seen all day... well, second funniest. There was this monkey on an island...Slayr504;1878441 said:
JZ is the way to go if you're updating but still want to stay I6, but if you have the means to do it, why NOT LS swap?lowtaco;1878544 said:
Plenty. There is a thread in the dyno/racing section on here, showing Monster Performance's Mk3 drag car. It is a bit nuts to say the least. Stock rear as far as I'm aware, although they were looking into other options as well.GImk3;1878584 said:
Supercharger would probably be nice if you're at a high elevation like me, but otherwise I would say it would be unnecessary.
