I say go ls1, it would be alot easier to do, more power in the long run, and less headache imo
you can find ls1 engine and tranmissions on craigslist fairly oftenLast edited by MasterGun; August 15th, 2012, 10:24 PM.

As a fellow V6 owner who's agonized with the same question, I concluded that the LS1 made more sense. For bang for the buck, for the availability of parts and shared knowledge, for the final HP output, for reliability and durability, for exhaust note, for rumble at idle, etc., etc.

I would love to do both but for now I'll do a ls1 swapComment

Make sure to keep your ducks in a row on the swap, which means you need to make sure EVERYTHING is there prior to the swap, unless you like unexpected downtimeOriginally posted by Jwomfeman View Post
