Boydness Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Buy any late model LS engine with computer and harness, all the swap stuff exists for this stuff. Pick any transmission from GM. Make as much power and have as much fun as your budget allows. That is what I had been thinking, but thought that there could be other options to consider before just going all "new school" corvette on my vette. The wife asks why I just don't buy a newer C5 or C6 vette if all I want is a modern engine. If I am not going old school or different, then that is probably what I will do then.

FourString Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think an LSx C3 is a cool idea. If you like your car that much, then keep it and do the swap. I'll bet you will find a new love for your car after it's complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been done a lot and there are kits available for wiring and mounts, lots of write ups for the swap on vette related forums too. Half-shaft upgrade and a stronger rear end cover if you put more than 400 to the wheels with sticky tires. Good luck with the build !

Why not just buy a C5 or a C6? Because anyone can do that. Having the reliability and performance of a C5 in a classic chassis is cool. Looks like a classic, but has all the modern conveniences.
