Is the LSx substantially heavier? How would this affect the handling of the car? Good luck with it though, car will mos def be sick!

 

Sadly but true, the lsx with tranny is lighter by around 30/50 pounds. i had the paper but cant find them right now. handleling will not change. just driver being able to control the car lol. it will handle better than the camaros that have the same engine on them.

update: custom headers and intake purchased, a way to let go of 1600 on just that ouchhhhhh!!!

 

The question is can the tranny handle all that torque?

But imagine if you got cheap shiiiittt, you know you like that expensive shiiitt. haha

What you planning on doing, running timing chain, gears, or belt? gonna go all out with the heads, cam, and lifters?

 

nah, guys im running also a t56 tranny for the LSx, havin a custom driveshaft being built right now for the the tranny to connect to the diff, plus SP Ingennering is hookin it up wit a diff nsupport for me lol.

 

haha mean mean, I wanna run a t56 or a tr 6060. gotta save some cash first though. lol

 

yup, just purchased the custom oil pan, clutch and aluminum flywheel and 2 walbro fuel pump. thinkn if i should put cams before the engine goes in. now i just gotta start routing fuel lines. Think of running another Super Charger or Nitrous on the LSX... any opinions?

 

update: had to stop on the engine i was workin on, just traded the stock engine for a completely built/forged nitrous ready 383 LS1. producing 505whp. the best news yet. i guess im gonna built it completely now.

so yea ALLNATURAL, im gonna be running a 383 forged from bottom up, with heads and everything.

 

haha thas mean. definitely boost that fuka. Did you get the tranny yet?

 

Don't know about ultimate, but have fun and good luck

 

Where are you getting the mount kit, headers, etc from? After building two LS1 2nd Gen RX-7s looking to drop one in my G sedan.

 

Well its a combination of places but i been gettin my stuff from a friend thats helpin me with the build... and this build is really expensive other than that requires alot of research, dnt really knw for the sedan but anythings possible right lol... good luck let me knw...

 

Seems like the easiest thing to do would be to run aftermarket gauges. I believe that will make this swap way easier and less expensive. There is a guy on LS1tech doing a 5.3 swap into a 350Z that is using stock GTO motor mounts and plans on fabbing up a bracket and making them work. From there the most expensive items would be the oil pan and headers.

 

well to be honest im using the help of someone that hav done it already on his Z, i recommend to wait on sikkys they gonna launch the entire kit for the car, as for me im using things from the already built Z and purchasing thing off different places. and it depends wat engine u already hav @ least for me im using a completely forged 383 LS1, thing was it was drive by cable, i wanted it drive by wire to keep my car completely stack as possible its a G (lol). another thing bout havn a person build there own mount is how they gonna position the engine n wat oil pan they gonna use. and also whose gonna do the drive shaft...

 

My headers finally got here, they big too lol...

 

They wasnt jokin when they said pullin the whole engine harness and everythin was hard, got sent it to be modified with the GM harness and ecu...
