Cost of a vk56 swap

1slow370

but the new ls has everything in common with a '65 block 350chev with a phone call to summit. there are no advances they took an old motor and put new parts in it. so the bolt patterns changed and the manifold is different everyting else is stndard berfomance v8 stuff. they just started putting better parts in it. go out buy a one piece rear main 350, get a lightweight rotating assembley out of the catalog with a set of raised port race heads and a big cam and bam 1975 ls1 eater. ihad a buddy with and 83 camaro and 450whp 78 sbc in it he built for $4500, so the real question here is why would you go to a junkyard and buy 6000 ls3 when you could call summit, start with a 4bolt block, and for 2000 less have fresh built 400+ hp mill? Ls's are old tech with a fresh paintjob, i've owned firebirds before been there done that. and ls parts aren't cheap either if you want a real improvement, fast lsx manifold 1400, race forged rotating assembley 4500, racevalvtrain cams and heads 3500, junkyard ls1 block and machining for new parts 2500, yes you can have north of 500 n/a with a 7500rpm redline but for 12k.
