LTX and LSXPutting LT1s, LS1s, and their variants into Third Gens is becoming more popular. This board is for those who are doing and have done the swaps so they can discuss all of their technical aspects including repairs, swap info, and performance upgrades.
Well it's happened! I have found a completely gutted 86 iroc no motor or trans and the interior is gone too. Picked up the car for 100 dollars no rims and tires. Now looking at doing the, well you guessed it turbo ls swap! I'm trying to pick up an 08 5.3 for 500 dollars with 80k on it. Putting in a th400 and a big turbo off an old 6v92 two stroke Detroit. Then full cage and racing seats. The only thing I need to know is what is your guys intake suggestions, blow through carb or put ls1-6 intake on. Maybe consider good intake with a holly tbi efi kit for it with electric water pump. This is a 60% drag car the rest is for car shows!
