How much different from an LS1 conversion would an LS6 conversion be? Is it different at all? Has anyone tried it yet?

 

If your talking an LS6 out of a vette, the oil pans are different and the swap is much harder than doing a ls1. Just buy an LS1 then do the conversion....I think this is even talked about in the stickies, too many repetitive posts =/,

 

An LS1 oil pan will fit an LS6 though right? So changing oil pans would solve that problem?

 

I *THINK* that the only big difference between the LS1 and LS6 are the intake, heads, and cam. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the base engine is the same. So yes, the oil pan should fit. Might wanna wait for someone who's sure to chime in tho.:lala:

 

Like I said, if you got the LS6 out of a vette, the oil pan is different.

 

Yes the oil pans are different but can be swapped from vette to f-body. Everything is interchangable because they are botg Gen III engines. The differences are just like that of the LT1 and LT4. Bigger cam, slightly different heads with larger intake ports, and topped off with an intake manifold to match.

 

Thanks shifty, yea I never said they couldn't and knew you could use a f-body oil pain, but like I said its discussed in the stickies and thier are so many repetitive posts as of late =/.

 

Ok so change LS6 oil pan to an LS1 oil pan and it is the same swap procedure as an LS1. Thanks for helping me out guys.

 

Actually even the LS1 Vette's have the different oil pan. They did so because in testing for the Vette, which is GMs road racing king, they found that the crank was getting starved in the corners, so they added the wings to accomidate for that.

 

Not to mention the Serpentine assesories setup is different.

 

I am working on an LS6 swap into 82 z28. Like Knightmare said you might need to get the Fbod serpentine system.
