hey every one. im interested in doing a full LS swap in my EK, how much would that cost? about 1 G? thanks

 

i would say around 1500. but thats if you buy the little things to make it run right before you drop it

 

You could get a complete swap from HMO for 2200 for your year and add 100 or so for fluids and your up to 2300. If you do it yourself its free if you pay for it look into another 600 to 1000 depending on the shops.

Yeah.

I hear they're madddd expensive for some reason though.

Though yeah it's the B16 head on it, and I think you g2 tap out the plug deal for the oil feed. Though pple been telling me it's very expensive and hard .

Yeah it's a catch 22. On one hand 2200 is ridiculously expensive for an LS motor but on the other hand you get a 100% startup guarantee :-\.

You can usually pick one up w/o the warranty for like 300-600 bucks if you shop around locally.

 

You wont find a complete or pieced together complete LS for 300, maybe 600 if its a homie deal but still doubtful.

If your auto itll cost you more on labor. You could check out my thread on how its done but if this is your first project and only car i suggest leaving it to people that know how to do it cause this isnt something i would recommend someone starting off on.

Although it's true that you don't get any kind of warranty nor guarantee you can probably pick up a totaled LS for like &lt;1k. Easy.

 

also. how long will lsVtec last for?

as long as any other engine provided you build, tune, and maintain it correctly.
