yes they do, the do it yourself kit is 800$, you will have to weld all of the brackets together yourself, i have all of my welding certificates if you want it done right, or the kit ready to bolt in i believe is right around 2k, forgot who makes the kit, i will look into it, you will have to beat out your tranny tunnel pretty significantly and get your drive-shaft shortened.
Hinson supercars makes a kit I believe spelling might be wrong, google it.
thanks guys , the hinson place sells a kit with a bunch of **** that i can actually make myself or do without . all i need are the mounts and driveshaft from the resaerch i have done . and from them that will only be about 450 from what i understand. reps to both of you .
let me know how it turns out, i have an LS2 sitting around i'd like to throw in a 97-98 chassis
how much for the ls2
saving it for a rainy day project, only paid 2700 for it and it has 11k on it
the hinson stuff is garbage. i know because i tried to help them do a decent job on it, and they had no interest in doing anything but making money and cutting corners while tooting their own horn.

no diy kit.
also check out www.ls1tech.com inthe conversions & hybrids forum. get on there and get in
i heard the hinson stuff sucks more than a few times now . so has anyone actually done this swap or know someone who has . my research has came to a halt . plus to top it off my sr popped on my way home tonight . sooooo i need info to get this done .Originally Posted by mikespeed95
i say make your own kit.
talk to erin HIPSI on here if he evne still gets on here. he did his by himself
let the games begin reps would be nice
thanks man , didnt give that much info but still thanks . i will im him .
Yeah make your own, people think custom mounts are expensive, they arent AT ALL. As in under $500 easy. I dont think there is a COMPLETE kit available. Out of curiosity why a LS motor and not another V8?
cuz ls's kick ass
ls1 = 365 hp stock , cheap , to me , + reliable. what more can you ask for ?
boost
this was at sema. not an LS1, but pretty bad ass.
The Carbon Fibered R6
boost = breaking down every week. belive me my talon took a **** once a week . so did mr sr .boost
for it not to be a chevy made product. lolol....or a ford. boooooooo
The Carbon Fibered R6
Yeah but a older V8 takes an hour to install LOL.
Yeah LS's are bad ass. I have heard wiring is actually very simple. There is a diagram somewhere on the net for a LS to 240 swap.
^^=pos if not done to PERFECTION
The Carbon Fibered R6
My SR powered 240 is my DD and I commute 64 miles a day 5 days a week. Boost = reliable if done right, just like any other motor.
are you 375whp + ?
truth. my 320whp SR was plenty reliable being beaten on for 4 years of drifting and daily driving. the LS1 blew up my first demo due to oil starvation.
and echo , i had my dsm tuned plenty , by BG and it still popped .
well thats just because its a dsm
this might be a prooven fact .well thats just because its a dsm
~calls myth busters ~
dude my ex roommate has a 93 awd dsm and he has been working on it more than he has actually drove it
mine was a 91 but same here .
which one is better tho?
I got dinner to goto.
ls1! or 2
Ok, no matter what...LS > SR ANY ****ING DAY
no matter what? Dan from Batlground's drift car is one wicked sumbitch and will eat my LS1 for lunch. if you properly engineer your setup on the SR, it'll not only be reliable but it'll make a hell of a lot of power. to my knowledge they're still running the same old engines they have been with stock internals too.
neither is better than the other, just depends on your preference and driving style.
Gotta love that BOV though...
2003 Saturn Ion QC 3, 5 Speed, N2O (DD)
1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R, SR20DET,
241 whp/261 wtq (Sold)
so turbo the lsx
and get no traction whatsoever.....
lol since he loves the bov sound lol get the electronic bov lol jk
if you've got that kind of money you might as well buy a vette. ever priced out a forged rotating assembly for an LS1? the stock stuff will only hold up so long, then you have to have deep pockets.
why do we gotta?
do what confusedkorean said, buy one off of ebay and wire it up, or buy a real one and blow REALLY hard into it. hahaa
The Carbon Fibered R6
I think he'll be to busy with trying to get traction and staying straight to think bout a bov
