So, who's going to run an LSx engine package in their 67-69 F-body ??

[chicane]

Anty up...... and take the poll.

I just gotta do this to figure out what I can tease you guys with before SEMA. :unibrow:





I guess ignore the 'yes' if you choose a cid. And probally ignore the NA/Forced Induction questions as well.... forgive me, its my first poll. :rolleyes:

[Damn True]

Too spendy for my blood. I'm going to stick with a normal Iron smallblock, AL heads and a carb for now...I will probably upgrade to EFI at a later date.

Unless of course I find some absurd deal....but that kinda thing never seems to happen to me.

[chicane]

....but that kinda thing never seems to happen to me.


:P Well, not with that attitude at least....... :P

[race-rodz]

i dont have an F-body.... and i aint running an LSx.

where is the 340" SB2.2 in a tube chassis race rod catagory??

[Damn True]

:P Well, not with that attitude at least....... :P

Ya know how some guys seem to always be the guy who finds a near perfect car behind someones barn for $4, or are always the guy who wins the raffle even though they only bought one ticket.......................I have never been that guy......dosen't stop me from trying though.

You wouldn't happen to have an LS motor that you'd like to trade for 1/2 a bag of M&M's would ya?

Just out of curiosity, what is involved in dropping an LS into a 1st gen?

Is it a huge can of worms?
In the end would it be easier/cheaper (both perhaps) to do something more traditional but with an aftermarket EFI?

No, actually its simple if you have the right stuff. This just happends to be our specialty.......

Things you'll need:

Engine
Conversion engine mounts
Conversion oil pan
Headers and exhaust
Transmission
Transmission install kit to include a cross member, modified hydraulic slave and bracketry
Driveshaft - Either shorten what you have or have a custom one built to your specs
Computer/electronics - There are quite a few companies making drop in wiring harnesses into non EFI chassis nowadays
Fuel system and tank for EFI system


I know I have probably left some things off of the list, but this is these are the main necessities for a swap..... depending on your chassis being a manual or automatic transmission chassis.

If you have a chance to go to SEMA, stop by.... we'll have everything on display. If not, our catalog will be here shortly with a comprehensive laydown on everything about this subject.


I just wish I could leak you guys some pictures....... :_paranoid

[crazy3gz]

I'll be doing a 408 probably when i get around to the motor and have the money ;) I've been starting to read up a lot. I have the bolting stuff up part down but i'll be looking to buy most of the stuff that needs to be fabbed up. I've seen some of your other posts and am looking forward to seeing what you put out and the prices. I will definetly keep a look out ;)

Ok, perhaps I ought to have phrased it differently.
When all is said and done. In terms of cost and difficulty would it be easier to achieve a 450-550hp drivetrain with a t56 or TKO by going with an LSx platform or sticking to something more conventional?

[chicane]

450 - 650 with an LSx and a T56 is a near no-brainer. Its a 'piece-o-pie', cuz all the part are already available and making power with an LSx is way too easy for the modifications and moneies spent.

[Steve1968LS2]

<--- LS2 is on the way baby!

[Rick@Rick's Hot Rod Shop]

Getting ready to put one together... dont know what i am going to put it into, but it might rent the engine bay of my 68 for a wile.

[rlplive]

I think I am going to put an ls1 in my 69. The trick is finding one cheap enough to not break me for the next year. I have seen some pretty decent ones on ebay and a few other websites. I have an 01 ss so I know how easy it is to make power with an ls1.

[ilovefirstgens]

Funny that you word it in future tense... but yes i will "run" a ls1 in my 68, hell its already in and almost done but not done with the oil plumbing so it isnt safe to "run" :(

[nitrorocket]

It's an easy swap for a used LS1, cheaper then building a sbc, and makes way more power. It is a good choice. ;)

[youthpastor]

I'm building a '68 mini-tubbed etc. I just picked it up last weekend, pics coming soon...

I'm on the fence over a killer 468 I sold a friend a few years back, not very streetable 12.5-1 roller motor, BUT MAN IT SURE SOUNDS KILLER!!

I like the idea of an LSx 6 speed combo out of a wreck, I found a motor local with all the goods for $2700. I'm not all that concerned about buying a used one, we just had a 2000 Silverado in the shop last week with 220,000 on it!

Why don't i here much about the 6.0 out of a truck? there's alot avalible.

The product I would be into is a resonably priced steel or plastic tank that looks factory and is set up to screw in a stock sending unit and pump combo, oh ya and fit my narrowed leaf springs-Chris

What do you guys think LSx-or 468?

[Stuart Adams]

LSx. :thumbsup:

[jannes_z-28]

Why don't i here much about the 6.0 out of a truck? there's alot avalible.
What do you guys think LSx-or 468?

The major difference with the truckmotor is it as a ironblock, otherwise they are the same. If you would go for really big boosted power you really need the iron block. Of course it is heavier than thoe others from aluminum but not heavier than a CSB. One benefit with the truckmotors is the price.

The obvious choice would be to go with the LSx



Jan

[PhaseShift]

I am late to the game as usual, but yes, we will be using the LSx format motor in our project upgrade. Our schedule keeps getting pushed back due to workload and some issues with core level engine parts... Going to try and spend some time on development of a few other parts to suppliment the build later on.

[Steve1968LS2]

<--- rasing hand

LS2.. an easy 570hp and great street manners, what's not to love :)

[Steve1968LS2]

It's an easy swap for a used LS1, cheaper then building a sbc, and makes way more power. It is a good choice. ;)

This man speaks the truth.. if you try and do a budget deal you can get better performance for the same or less cash.. and less weight.

[nitrorocket]

I will continue to preach, the LS1 will hands down beat any SBC or BBC in the bang for buck category. You cant build a SBC for the amount you can buy a used LS1, plus the LS1 will make more power! The LS1 factory parts can handle WAAYYYY more power then a regular SBC. :thumbsup:

You will LOVE an LSX motor!!! :D

[DaCajun]

We are about to do an LS1 in my neighbors 68 F-body. What issues will we have with install? Will the A/C compressor in the stock location clear the right frame rail? Any and all thoughts will be much appreciated.

Engine mounts, transmission cross member, clutch hydraulics and the oil pan..... just for starters. The AC compressor will not fit unless you use engine mounts that shove the engine foward.... but that isnt the way to go about it either. There are a few different way to go about the AC compressor but there are some good ones and definately some bad ones........

There are a couple of ways to go about this but just about all the parts you are needing are available through ATS (http://www.t56kit.com/).

So, how does all this make installing a LSx less expensive than a conventional small block, again (not including headers and the air compressor issue)? Granted, you could install a SBC and still pony up all these cost with it, but you could also do it without a single one of these items depending on what you might already have.

[chicane]

Ok.... 365 days later.

71 to 28 for going with. I think this one is done.

i doubt a lsx engine is less expensive to install than traditional small block. it is prolly cheaper than traditional small block w/ efi.

[Old Man]

The 6.0 LTR iron block weighs approximately 100LBS more than the aluminum lS1 block. The iron block can handle way more abuse the aluminum block can. Alot of the LS1 nitrous guys run the iron block for strength.

The major difference with the truckmotor is it as a ironblock, otherwise they are the same. If you would go for really big boosted power you really need the iron block. Of course it is heavier than thoe others from aluminum but not heavier than a CSB. One benefit with the truckmotors is the price.

Jan

[nitrorocket]

Unless you want to go 8's, there is no need for an iron block. What I am saying is do not have any worries about either block you choose.

Granted, you could install a SBC and still pony up all these cost with it, but you could also do it without a single one of these items depending on what you might already have.

Most of these things are required if you are going to do an efi conversion regardless of LSx or SBC.
Some of these things you would want to upgrade or replace anyway no matter which motor you put in. (ie: drive shaft, motor mounts, and tranny crossmember depending on tranny put in)
The savings comes in if you get a complete motor.
For example a 6.0l LS truck motor can be bought complete for $1800 used. This includes ECM so you saved yourself $1000 from having to buy a BS3 or FAST. And you are making 350hp stock.

Here is an article that did a comparison to building similar motors:

I am installing a ProCharged (D1SC) LS6 on the new hydroformed sub frame from DSE. My engine is being built by Golen Engine Service. I am purchasing all FAST equipment, which is almost a grand cheaper going through Summit, and I am using MSD ignition. This is not the cheapest way, by far, but it's going to run sweet.

Ok coming in late on the thread but just now pulled the trigger on an LS7 for the vert with a 4l60. Had to edit this because I just looked at my logged name. I've never been a "junior", somehow it makes me feel youthful, I'll think about that after my nap.

I answered no because I started collecting parts Four years ago and I already have a Gen 1 complete set up . But I wish I would have waited. When I started it was a lot harder to get information and engines . It was exotic. Now with all the parts and information its tuff not to be satisfied with my power plant.

I have had bolton LT1s and a H&C LS1. Always wanted to build a Vortec SC'd 9:1 LT1 with a 6 speed behind it. A few friends had them in C4s and 4th gens and they would fly, nothing like the sound of the blower either.

[fatelvis]

just finished my 69 camaro, ls6 from 02 vette , why ? because my ls1 49 chevy pickup has had the holy hell beat from it for 5 years now, still runs strong. Loved them both so much I put a 5.3 in mt 95 chevy 4wd. power plus gas milage, who'd of thunk!

[64duece]

we just installed a carb'd LS2/T56 setup in a 67 RS Convertable. We used Hooker adapters and headers with some mods to the frame bracket location was a pretty straight-forward fit. We re-fabbed the "bolt-in" trans x-member to get the geometry and fit right. All in all it's a pretty simple simple deal.

Our next candidate is a 69 RS twin turbo'd LSx with a bunch of the fun goodies like aftermarket PCM, paddle shifted 4L60, drive-by-wire, twin fuel system etc. Should be a fun wiring project!!!

BUMP to the Top!!

I bought a wrecked 99 Camaro with a T56 which is swapping into my 1969 Camaro. Lots of parts are finding their way into the first-gen, the dash, steering column, console, front seats, e-brake set up. It is a lot cheaper then you might think if you can find a donor car with all kinds of working parts to steal from. Selling parts off the 1999 to help fund the 1969 build. I bought a 1969 painted shell that someone else ran out of money and I picked it up. Not exactly a budget build, but a TON less than most other projects shown under construction on this site.

I think I just might be :willy: CRAZZZZY :willy: enough to get the gauge cluster, trunk release, wiper motor and cruise control working in it too after I tear apart the wiring harness and delete the unnecessary stuff.

I don't want to mess with the stock ABS, heater or sound systems from the 1999. I'm planning to go aftermarket for the heater/AC and sound system.

[6D9 Matt]

Hopefully by the fall I will be close to deciding on a setup. But right now Im leaning towards an LS3/stroker. Then maybe throwing a blower or snail on it down the road... :unibrow:

Sorry for the late response, missed it.

The aluminum first gen small block is from PBM. No special ignition, just a cam with LS firing order, MSD distributor w/6AL box and it is naturally aspirated. I picked up the motor from NYES Automotive out of Muncie, Indiana. Motor came with everything but carb, distributor, and accessories for $9500 including 168 tooth fly wheel and Moroso pan. I worked a deal to where I sent them my intake, Canton road race pan, and in trade they supplied a Hays aluminum flywheel. I also sent them my carb, distributor, and Lakewood bellhousing and they aligned the bell housing and dyno'ed the motor for me all inclusive so I couldn't pass.

Yeah, LS swaps seem so common place on these forums, I just did an "old school" LQ9 swap into mine.

But in the real world you hardly ever see them. I might have seen 2 or 3 LS powered 1st Gen's all season at car shows. It's not as common as you think, except on the Internet.

Here's my version of an LS swap:

LS engines are definitely the way to go.

Here is an LS3 that we installed in a '32 Oze Roadster.

And here is one we built for a Monte Carlo.

Running a LS1 / T56 in my 69 & I love it compared to the old 350sbc.

Nothing special here. Bone stock LM7/4l60e take out from an 2001 Silverado with stock tune from PSI conversion/Dynatech headers. May add a cam and tune down the road.

SWEET! I love it nice job. I like the heater block off plate .

[partsguy57]

Thank you. My son milled that up for me as I thought it would make a good place to mount the ecu and get rid of the very ugly vintage air cover plate.

Nice!

[Stealth_69]

LSA - setback and lowered a little (for that handling edge)
Aiming for 700-750hp - building as a Daily/Auto-X so might struggle to get more power to the ground

Sweet Ride!

This poll should be modified to include LTX as well! Gen V LT4 here. Custom painted supercharger lid and valve covers to match my trim.

That is AWESOME!!

[Pete68]

Im planning L92 swap. My car is still running the same engine rebuild I did 30 years ago when I was in high school. So overdue for a new engine.

Great video on LS engine options:
