A mild cam, heads and turbo would probably be your best bet, although the rear gear ratio wouldnt be best suited for the turbo application. A 427 LS1 with heads and cam would get you close to your mark, but would cost quite a bit of $. With a stock bottom end and heads, cam and 8 to 9 PSI with either a turbo or cen blower you could get your #'s and wont worry too much about hurting the engine. The best part is that you could actually drive your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinHawk1647545499 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 if you want a 427 ls1 which is very capable combo i have a ls1 block with a cracked liner that was going to be for a 427 it is sitting at a engine shop near me (as they have a set of darton sleeves, waiting for me to give them the word to get piston, rods and crack and start building it. i dont think im going to go that route least not for a long time. so the set up could be yours. PM me for the number and you can call them to get a quote. wouldnt hurt to call them and just see how much it would cost. also they would give you a good price im sure. a 427 with some all-pro heads or afrs and agressive cam will have no problem with making 600hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1sweet3.4 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 fuck it man! put a 4g63 in your z06 and you won't have to worry about killing passersby with flying apex seals and jet hot streams of oil. then once your done, a hundred people with mullets will back up anthony beating the sense back into your head:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBoosted2 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Just pull a salvaged LS6/LS1 engine and toss it in for now. Build it later. It will run 11's all motor stock. I pulled a 99 TransAm LS1/T56 for my RX7 I plan on selling this car, and doing an LS6/FD RX7 by next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 how hard/easy is it to do an ls1 swap into an FD anyways? You know, just out of curiosity. I've been contemplating as i keep seeing what people can do with that kind of power plant.... I feel like such a tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mudbutt Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Originally posted by Veritas: I feel like such a tool. How is having an open mind being a tool? Working in a fab shop, I have come to realize that no car is chained to the powerplant that it comes with. If you like the car but not the motor, swap it. You love the powerplant but hate the car, pull it. This isnt always the easiest/cheapest route, but if you have the resources, it can make you happy in the long run...... I heart tinman.

Veritas Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 mostly cause of being a purest for the 7, but after i blow (not if, WHEN) this engine im going to look at doing that swap. I just know it's going to be a huge pain in the ass because NOTHING is going to be the same. T.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
