:O I like the way the video started. I honestly thought it was going to be a true dual exhaust.

The longer I watched the video, the more I want to be an engineer at Vorshlag.

I have a similar exhaust on my LS2/L92 FD: headers into two 3" ID Magnaflow cats, Y'd into a single 3" back to a Racing Beat muffler. Made 463rwhp with a mild (222/230 .597") cam. Not much if any benefit to "true duals" at this power level IMO.

Ugh... I'm so impatient... LoL... They say "next time" but they only update like once every six weeks... what I really want to know is the Lead time to production for a full swap kit...

Nice!!!

This swap has no appeal to me what so ever and yet I want it so bad.
*confused*

Stupid question time. Ready?
Not knowing anything about American V8s and doing a quick Google what is it about the LS1 that makes it so appealing over the myriad of other U.S. V8s available?
Am I correct in saying that an LS6 is externally the same as an LS1?

brianhj · 05-23-2015, 08:20 AM

I'd say availibility, size and price

Not sure about LS6

Small block Chevy engines are relatively cheap. Parts are cheap. The OHV configuration makes them short compared to OHC engines. They are pretty damn bullet proof at stock levels. They are plentiful if you blow one up you can find another and have it in hand within a week.

Yes, the LS-whatever are externally the same size, save intake manifold differences and accessories. The only engine that isn't the same is the LS4, which is a FWD config that was used in the later model Impala SS'.

The LS6 is from the C5 'Vette Z06. You can run it but LS1s are more popular. Both are 5.7l, but the difference is in the heads and I believe the pistons (I may be wrong on this though). Both are aluminum blocks.

The truck engines, which are a dime a dozen, are typically iron blocks, but there are a few that are aluminum. I'm targeting the L33, which is an aluminum block 5.3l and utilizes similar heads as the LS6. A port job and a nice street cam should net 390ish whp and be nearly bulletproof at that. At current rates, I expect that build to run about $1900 max.

Unfortunately, prices for the aluminum engines are on the rise thanks to the drift tax, but they're still cheap compared to other engines.

Plus, cams on any LS motor, make it sound like a TREX is about to come out of your pipes.

brianhj · 05-23-2015, 09:59 PM

@cf6mech When it's finished I'll drive up to you and give you $50 cash if you let me take it for a spin

Floggin Tires · 05-23-2015, 10:20 PM

And I still want trans ratio.
2.66 or 2.97?
