Looking for an LS engine.....

[taank]

Fuckin' simple cakes.
5.3, mean cam, 10 lbs forced induction, 700R4 trans wired with lock up and a 3600 stall converter, 3.90 gears. Would be a fun car with 550 hp. Street manners and attitude

Yes but with rnsf this will never happen. If it does the guy paying him to do it is twice as dumb as dave

[octanehuffer]

oh, ok.

if he is really gonna turbo it later on, it would be wise to start with a better trans like a turbo 400 or a 4l80e.

much more expensive but much more reliable

4L80E is the PERFECT candidate for a car with over 700hp. The converter alone steals 100 hp. Would want a 6.0 and alot of torque for that bitch. Heavy land barges need 400/4L80's

Actually I was not really aware of what this swap was going into

But I retract my comments. Verts weak link in this whole dang blasted motor swap were my comments for using an "e" tranny and he should use his stated 700r4.


I just never knew a 700 in stock form will work with a LS in stock form. Wow, I learned something new today from TCS.
Thank you TCS

a 700r4 and a 4l60e have the EXACT same dimensions and share most all the same internal parts

Where are all these $500 lq9's located this is my only question.

No doubt.

Vert, if you get to the point of doing this, let me know. I can probably lead you to a few links that might save you some time and effort. Otherwise you can search on thirdgen.org or ls1tech.com

There's threads on everything from swaps (including motor mount templates) to 4l80e installs.

Chad, cost to build one of my turbo 400 cores?

taank, he is not paying me a dime. I don't usually charge for fun shit that I WANT to do, just daily diver shit.

Well its a slippery slope, a 6.0 with a decent sized turbo and a good tune and its right in that territory. So it doesnt make much sense to me to try and build a 700 or 60e that "might" handle the abuse, when you could just build a 400 or 80e and not have to worry about it down the road.

After seeing those pics of the transmissions you have id say you should look for a better core to start with.

What does swimming have to do with it?

[taank]

For 900 I can get you a built 400 reverse manual valve body, transbrake and all the usual goodies
