I can't wait for these things to become mainstream. It'll be this or an FD3S with LS3 for me.

I wanted an LSX FD for a retirement gift to myself. Complete coolness. Problem nowdays is that FD's are going the way Supra's did years back. To get a good one you pay top dollar. To get a crappy one that you gotta put some work into you gotta pay top dollar. But FD LS with a mild cam is straight BOSS mode.

That's if you want a clean stock one, implying you intend to keep the rotary. These LS swaps are about getting cars with blown engines, or people who have no patience for rotaries. You can get a clean one with "engine issues" for $10,000 or less.

What would be the ballpark $$$ of this swap for everything? Just curious how this would compare to the price of FI TT.

not sure.. i didnt pay full price on some stuff...and depends on what setup you go with Ls1,2,3... different tannys , where you source the parts..junk yards, ebay.....i read a story on someone who did a swap that was about free..he bought a salvage van with an iron block Ls and after parting out the van it paid for the swap..

I'm sure it would vary for sure. That's the benefit of LS swaps vs anything foreign is parts are much more available and less expensive for sure. Thanks for the response!
