Spring Break '92 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 they really dont cost much, especially if you go for the iron blocked variants like the 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0s out of the trucks. its the exact same block on all gen 3 gm small blocks so its just switching parts ya know Edit: just realized they may be expensive compared to smaller import engines, i dont know much about costs on those Yea, but going with an iron block defeats the purpose of the LS swap. The aluminum block LS motors are 114lbs. lighter than the iron block Nissan KA24. Think of how much more an iron block GM small block would weigh.

' LS motors are pretty cheap compared to those considering I can get one from JEGS for around 5800. Plus the ease of having an engine with more readily available parts compared to something you might have to ship from another country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XJONATHONX Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I also didnt factor in the price difference from building/fabbing an IRS or awd system around the new engine. Guess I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silba Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 i just think you are way off base by saying horsepower is out of style. Well it is. In many ways Horsepower alone is not enough, as time attack, drift, gymkana get off the ground HP is still Very invaluable, but there are many more Valuable variables in those equations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
