Chevy ls1 family LM4/LM7 5.3l truck motorLQ4/LQ7 6.0l truck motor The truck engines differ that they have iron blocks, which are more durable for boost and less $$$$ Plus ls1 parts are interchangable :twisted: It's cool because chevy is repeating the family of engines as was in the Gen I small block, which lasted for about 40 years, and was previously the best small block in many people's opinion.

ls1project Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Got a couple parts in, so I took some pics. Schools out now so I can actually spend some time on the car. I sent the pcm and harness to wait4meperformance.com. They eliminated the VATS (vehicle anti-theft system), rear o2's, egr, and threw in a tune. They also took out the unnessicary wires in the harness, and labled everything http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/06-22-07_0046.jpg ls2 front sump oil pan out of an 05 gto http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/06-22-07_0047.jpg Getting the car towed out to the shop where I'm doing the work tomorrow or the day after to pull out the 4cyl and maybe start the mock up.

ls1project Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) was asked about mounts, so i figured id help you all out... the mounts for a ls are basically flipped gen 1 sbc mounts. i used the engine half of the old sbc mounts as the crossmember half then the stock ls engine half and rubber and sent a bolt through the middle. i did have to make a plate to move the engine about 2 inches either forward to get the engine in the right spot. the position it's in places it perfectly between everything and i can keep the stock swaybar, steering, firewall, auto trans tunnel, and hood. this position also puts the trans mount in a place where i drilled a hole in the stock starion crossmember. the only problem with the steering is it is a royal pain for drivers side headers, which is why i had to make ugly ones. hope this helps. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_0015.jpg Edited October 7, 2009 by ls1project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ls1project Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hey 240z, I used this motor mount half, which is a first gen small block chevy (first pic). Its the half that bolts to the engine, but I used it as the one that bolts to the chassis. I used the ls1's stock engine half of the motor mount. (second pic, just the engine half) I sent a bolt through the middle of the two, then i had to move it forward a couple inches with a steel plate to get it in the perfect spot. http://www.mopderbyproducts.com/ChevyEngineMtTop.jpg http://www.turbols6.com/albums/album39/aaa.thumb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Question , how much more does an LS1 weigh over the G54b ? Just trying to see how much more weight is added when this swap is done . The ls1 weighs about 380lbs. Can't be that much over a g54. With t56, its less than 550lbs total.
