    Default let the games begin

    the SR20 got scared and jumped out of the bay


    getting this lump out of the truck wasn't so easy... had to build my custom engine hoisting teepee to get it from the truck to the ground, it was up too high for the real engine hoist. but it's on the ground now, safe and sound, ready to be prepped for entry into the big empty bay.

    with some quick eyeballed measuring the LS1 is narrower than the SR with the turbo attached by about 3 inches and is longer than the SR/trans by about 2-3 inches, mostly due to how the accessories hang off the front of the engine so far.

    one sweet item that came on my transmission.... factory Hurst short throw shifter .



    can't wait to get started officially

    i'm doing the swap, hopefully with some help from Dan @ BG. waiting on the GTO oil pan and my clutch to show up before i can get started cutting the crossmember and making mounts. i was going to do the harness myself but i need this car done for the drift demo at Nopi Nats which only gives me a month, so i'll likely send it off to a company called Speartech who converts the stock LS1 harness for use in swap vehicles so i can concentrate on the really hard parts. mounting and exhaust will take a good bit of time to get right.

    in the end it'll cost a little bit more than my 314whp SR setup, and way more than a relatively stock SR swap.

    I've been looking at going the LS1 route when the KA-T dies. Did your Sr blow? Or did you just decide it was time for a change?

    SR is still in great shape, just decided to switch to the LS1 because the low end power will help during the drift demos i'm doing and it'll have less tendency to get hot so i can keep the action going. the other benefit is potentially finding some sponsors since the car will stand out a little more.

    all the major components are here, time to start building mounts .

    building my own. hinson's stuff doesn't fit the S13 well although they claim it to fit with stock hood and shit. all hinson really makes is spacers that move the subframe lower but that will screw with my lower control arms so i'm going all custom with completely solid mounts.
