Lt4 or lsa swap
Not sure if I'm in the right section but recently my ls3 got trashed. I was thinking of doing a 416 stroker but also debating on getting a lsa crate engine or a lt4. Lt4 and lsa crate engines are similar in price and a couple grand above 416. I need a new engine with block so that's why I was considering the crate engines. Would the lsa and lt4 both be direct fit? And if so will I need a computer or will mine work with a tune?
Thanks for the help. |

Or you can buy a LSX376 for $5600 for a b8
Or $7200 for a b15 and have a 2yr 50k warranty from GMPP. |

You can buy a all forged shortblock from ADM for $4995 with all callies and compstar. Good parts. |

LT4 is direct injection so you would need to convert
What are your power goals? Im sure you could get a forged shortblock and reuse your heads if they are still in good shape and LSA blower from ADM. ADM can probably quote you a whole setup |

failshift, what made you get rid of your LS3? Did it blow up or did you just want an LSX?
I was curious, if my L99 blows up for whatever reason, do I just F it and get an LSX? Or are there cheaper options than are better than a replacement engine? |

Is LSX the best replacement engine for the money if you blow up your LS3?
I don't think I'll ever go FI if that was the case. So basically if I were to blow up my engine and I wanted to stay N/A, a stroker would be more expensive compared to a brand new LSX right? |

Depends on what you mean by LSX.
I wouldnt do a iron block for any NA build.
