Or at least a LS3, sorry but the LS2 is decent but spend a little bit extra and go for the LS3. Look forward to more information on this build though.

They're all "LSX"s...the LSX PRODUCT was just a block that GMPP sold.

They're almost identical - I'd go either, depending on which one was the better bang-for-the-buck.

I'd be careful, You-Know-Who is always watching...

But don't be jelly - it's only one of the best motors of all time.

probably

edub370 · 06-07-2012, 08:30 PM

True. But its just so.. Played out imo. Not a bad motor by any means

Mike · 06-07-2012, 08:33 PM

I don't think its played out. Its just an awesome motor for the price and weight. I know that whenever I eventually blow my engine, its the route I want to take.

You and I think exactly alike :-p.

Hell it'd probably be cheaper...

Mike · 06-07-2012, 10:14 PM

the silly thing is that I haven't done more than intake/exhaust/tune to the engine because I want dependability, but I've lost track days for brakes, suspension, wrecked from an oil cooler line, fuel starvation, axle/differential problem, so I am starting to wonder if the FI upgrade would be any worse.

Haha. I intend to go S/C eventually. But that's after a lot of other things happen. 2 years, and she's paid off!

remember... 2002 or newer camaro if your looking for both the tranny and motor together...

Uhhhhhhh....why the 2002? The intake manifold is easy enough to find, but if you have the thing pulled already, you may as well put on a better intake manifold, cam, and get the heads re-done too. And besides, the 2002 was the last year of the 4th gen haha.

Either way, I don't think I'd want to do an LS1/LS6 - I'd want to go LS2/LS3, minimum.
