V6 CARS
youll need too upgrade too front V-8 springs are yours gonna bottom out alot price varys.
ELECTRICAL
Theres a few ways too go painless sales a ls1 kit for around $589
are you can do your own splicing also im sure theres more pre made out there hawks will do it for $995
COOLING
Ive heard you can run the stock radiator and fan but i think it would be wise too step up too a dual fan setup and youll need a coolant bypass thats not too expensive.
FUEL
if you buy the fuel regulator and fuel line kit you should be able to use the stock lines no problem. if not you have too get an fitting etc etc wich can get expensive
OTHERS STUFF
You can cut down price by fabricatting your own trans crossmember try too fab out fuel line stuff (i wouldnt recommend it pay the extra money too be safe dont blow you and your car up) those are the main parts youll need thou so add that stuff up and thats about the amount ull be spending plus your engine. this is only from one website ill do more searching and add other prices soon

Lol I know how that goes my other passion is Jeeps get enough of ur buddies in the same shop working on jeeps and old school muscle your roaring drunk after a long nite makes for a awsome nite thou nothing better then that.
What about a transmission cross member for the 6L80 (yup, it's working, but you need a GEN IV PCM)? Looks like the one from the Turbo Trans Am will fit. It is actually only one layer of V-shaped material. Easy to fabricate.
Ya if anyone has recipiets on a rebuild of there lsx as in the price for the kit machine work etc add that too im sure someone would be intrested in that specially if there buying a high mileage engine.
thanks I dont see why so many ppl are asking for the price off the ls1 swap its not too hard too find out a estimated price theres a ton of info on it here and the research in parts dont take that long. no matter wut thou id add another $1500 on for the stuff u cant expect along the way.
ya ive heard that it rides high u can cut coils on the spring if needed cheap way lol. personally im going too be running coil overs so ill adjust as needed. If your mainly going too be drag racing thou u might want too stick with springs there better at pre-loading ur suppension and wieght transfer too the back wich ive heard ppl argure this but wutever
I think I remember Speartech telling me that when they shipped their ECU/harness it came reprogrammed so the gauges would read correctly in 3rd gens without the converter.
Also, there is a board member (do a search for Drew's crossmember) that sales a crossmember made for long tubes. I think that's the way I'm going to go when the time comes.
