Got a ride in this car, and I am hands down sold on the swap. The power is great, and the turn in and handling is not negatively effected and is like OEM. BOSS!

What do you think the total cost was for this endeavor?

Total cost can vary so much up or down depending on what you do at the time of the swap. Examples are shaving and tucking the bay. Upgrading the radiator ( not a must) upgrade the clutch and other engine parts while it is out. Fuel system and the kind of lines and fittings you do. And the biggest would be the cost of which you get the LS motor for. Also if you do the labor yourself or not.

I upgraded the rad, fans, clutch, throwout bearing (gm performance), brakes (4piston calipers), lines, short shifter, oil pressure gauge, wideband, bought hp tuners out right, 3" tig welded exhaust, ls6 intake manifold, ported throttle body

Swap kit, driveshaft, motor and trans, wiring and ecu, massive parts list as part of the swap

All in was around $12000..... Installed

Cost of my garage/ facility to do the swap $15000

Labour $12000.00 (I am a licensed Master Tech)

Good luck !

It's a great investment and eventhough the community is small as of now importmuscle offers some of the greatest customer support if not the greatest customer support i have seen
