"I don't even mess w/ LS1 cars... what is it they say about 'em?? Look at it cross-eyed and you can get another 100hp out of it??"

+1.Ive driven and hung around enough ls1 guys to know where the powers at.The thing with doing a ls1 swap is finding a used motor isnt easy.A tech at my job looked for 4 months before finding one for his ls1/3g rx7 hybrid.Look to pay at LEAST 4-5k for a full swap.Good vid miguel.

you've got more room than a CRX, and i know for a fact an old school sbc fits in there with just a few inches of firewall pushed back. but the benefit of your's is the length. your not exactly stuck having to run an IRS because of a changing pinion angle and a very short driveshaft.

why not put it into the honda? its not as hard as people make it out to be. hardest part of it all is setting up the rear end. pushing the firewall back and tunnelling the center is easy (for mechanically inclined people anyways)

These little engines can't handle the constant abuse at full tilt to barely beat a V8 car at half tilt.... Same goes for a V8 at full tilt but at that point no 4 bangers catching it! Unless they have Shep/Rau type money and experience!
Shit Turbo a GTO and call it a day
To answer your question, I think it was $24k not sure.... I will go by there today to see if its still there.

why twin turbo, and why an LS2???
if your going to spend that sort of money, just turbo an LS7 and be done with it.
