What does an average used LS1 go for? How about an LS1 T56 tranny? I'm starting to research stuff for an LS1 swap.

 

Into the DSM?

 

Engine and trans can be had from $3-5k. Look on Ebay. They are usually on there alot. A used LS1 is ~1500-3k depending on milage and a used T56 is ~$1k.

 

No, not in the DSM. Considering an LS1->2nd gen RX-7 swap.

Thanks. That's not that bad for what you're getting.

 

please show me a forged 346 with >or = ls6 heads, cam and intake for $2800.. Ill buy that fucker tonight.

 

I mean shortblock. Someone doing a swap or anything to get another motor 99% of the time wont keep stock heads (ported heads are ~ the same price as stock LS6 heads now... better deal) and not keep the stock cam. Plus generally when someone buys a motor, theyre looking to rebuild it anyways. I know Id never trust a motor thats used

 

Ok short block yes, but that is a complete ls6 minus the manifolds, I think legit is looking for a complete ls6 for a swap into an import so he would need the whole shebang. $2800 for an ls6 isnt bad considering the stock heads are still going for around $1000 alone.

 

but that LS6 you posted has been beat to death. It was in a race car from day 1 IMHO, I would start with a forged short and then get some heads.

 

yes but if your trying to get a cheap ls6 its hard to be picky ya know. I do agree with you on the forged with a nice set of heads but he was asking for a used ls6. we are in the same book just on different pages

 

ummmmmmm so what would be recommended but for a non conventional swap into say a 240sx or FD ?

I am looking to do one of these two projects soon.
