LS1 swap tips/tricks?

Unless you're a baller, stay away from Sikky. They are the Kanye West of the LS swap world, they love themselves about as much as Kanye too.

Holley makes LS swap stuff now, check them out, really affordable and fits well.

When it comes to installing the actual engine in the car, make sure the starter is installed and wired before you install the passenger exhaust manifold.

When it comes to the driver side exhaust manifold, go ahead and pull the steering column, the Hooker headers require the steering column to be removed before the driver side exhaust manifold can be installed.

Fuel pump, go ahead and upgrade. Aeromotive Stealth works well and leaves some room for growth.

I bought a used, older-edition sikky kit and Sikky still provided non-stop, excellent email communication for every single one of my issues since the beginning at random points. I must have made 30 emails total and every single one, somebody read it and responded and was typically very helpful. Motor sits very reasonable location, all eight plugs change in 30 minutes and I can get to every bellhousing bolt without needing any special tools. That was essential for me.

|And I am NOT a baller. A discounted Jegs cam is worth more than the engine I used. Hell a stock set of 240sx wheels might be worth more than my motor. lol

speaking of which, save some money use a truck engine. Both the 6.0L and L33 apparently supports 1000rwhp in a daily application for significant period. I can't get over that.
