LS engine belongs only in GM vehicles.
Anything else is utter blasphemy.

swapping doesn't cost much at all especially since they are TONS of people who are doing it which keeps da cost down and they are PLENTY of kits available for alot of
cars which cuts down on alot of custom metal fabrication for da motor/transmisson mounts. plus LS engines are EVERYWHERE so you can get a reasonably used crate
from a parts yard DIRT cheap, or even get a BRAND new one at a reasonable price as well.
no ordering overpriced foreign parts for your old car, alot of is is made is da USA
Can you go in on prices?

Each shop is different but basically
For bout 10-12 grand you can have
A LS1 with a transmission into
Most cars.. Other LS (ls9) engines
Can cost more so it also depends
On other factors.

LS1 Swap Packages
Over the years we have become well recognized as one of the premier Nissan tuners in the country. We have been building, repairing, racing, and tuning Nissans for almost 20 years now and have been highly published in many national magazines.
We perform many different engine swaps on all different Nissan platforms, specially the 240SX. Widely chosen because it is light, RWD, has independent suspension, and parts are readily available. These facts make it a great drift car. When you drift you need power and although the stock KA24 engine can be made to put out decent hp numbers it doesn’t lend itself well to constant beatings associated with drifting.
One of the newest swaps that have gained popularity is the Chevrolet LS1 V8. It produces 405hp stock! More than enough hp to easily navigate a drift course and produce a ton of smoke! The following is an outline of cost for this swap package. We can also install this engine into the 240Z, 280Z, 280ZX, 300ZX, Mazda Miata, and Mazda RX7 FD3S (93-9

You can DEFINITELY supercharge
Or turbo a LS safely, remember that
You can reprogram da ECM and do it
As mundane as it comes. GM sells
Da LS9 supercharger that can put
On most LS blocks.

interesting, wish I knew more about cars.
Yea, you probably could get away with running low boost but if you plan on boosting without an engine rebuild, a better starting point would be to go with the 03 Cobra engine/blower. The ZR1 engine has forged pistons and stuff right

You dont need to run crazy boost on
A LS or V8's in general because
These are low revving motors to
begin with. They arent screaming
4 bangers that have to rev stupid
High to make power, all da torque
Is lower on da powerband in american
V8's.
