Ouch! Time for a LS2.

CamaroSpike23 04-24-2008 08:46 PM

thats what you get for drivin an LS1. lol shoulda gotten an LT1.

what were you doin when that happened?

id say see if you can find a donor car to swap motors with, or buy a cheap beater and turn that into a track queen.

I was just headed home and got on it a bit not too much and yea. . .lol. when the engine died. luckily I was a block from the house and coasted to the right infront of the house. oh well.

I've owned an LT1 before. I think I'll keep my LS1/2/3


I want to get an LS376/480hp crate engine. . .but ecu/pcm is the pain in my rear for that swap. plus to I'm suppose to be pcsing (moving to you non military types) really soon. so that hampers the whole engine swap. but good news is I have a truck to drive until I can get her back on the road.

i might have some friends who could help you out. i dont know what all everyone has f/s or in their garage. all ive got is a carb'd ls1 sitting in my 86 that needs to be fired up.

but go over to www.FastGM.com and someone might have some thing for you. and let me know if you decide to part out your motor.

thanks, I'm parting out what I feel would be worth it but honestly not much is. the heads would be good for someone to practice porting on but yea who wants stock 98 ls1 heads? lol. also with the metal fragments that went throughout the engine I'd be weary of anything in the block or coolant/oil system. but oh well.

Blown Engine
 
I may have a friend who needs to get rid of a LS1 motor? He is moving and has it sitting in his basement. I will see what he is doing with it. Jeff
