  <description>it only cost me at the time like 20 bucks . So by all means I would have bought it if you would have sold it to me shipped for that. And The car has been sold for almost a year now... I was certain I put that in this thread.  Getting married and so on leaves little room for toys that need so much work. I haven't even been on this site for.. a few months. I will be back though : ) and with a new project now that things are getting settled down.IF you read the thread you will understand that I by no means claim this to be the best method. Hell to be honest I just did it to see if I could do it and make it look right, make it function, and to see if i was up to that kind of extensive work. Oh and btw the hatch is still holding up..per new owners words    </description>

  <description>I havent thought about clutch and flywheel much as I wont be putting much more than stock power down. Just cammed. The clutch should hold that, But I will look into them. Also Ive read on 3 different cars that It maintains its 50/50 weight distribution. THe motor assembled is less than a KA which probly is around the same as the Miatas motor. Ive read one site that said it was 53/47. either way they all said it was virtually unnoticeable."The chassis and drivetrain pair together as if it were meant to be from the factory. The Miata throttle cable falls into place in the LS1 throttle body and the T56 shifter pops in the center of the factory shifter location. The converted car makes for a balanced (able to obtain 50/50 with suspension tweaking), lightweight (neighborhood of 2400lbs.), and extremely sporty car (300rwhp,300rwtq). Plus, no one expects it!" -Racing ConceptsI think I read somewhere on there with no suspension mods is when it was 53/47</description>

  <description>wow, that is thorough. i didnt see the clutch and flywheel mentioned but from the description it sounds like it would be included. thats pricey though, my brother def spent less on his but then again he has more room to work with and he went chevy to chevy not into a mazda. this'll be 1 hell of a beast, but from what ive heard you can forget cornering with an ls up front </description>

  <description>true, but before you get into it, it'll be like 1200 for the trans maybe but theres also the cost of clutch and flywheel, appropriate bellhousing (if it doesnt come with it) starter, and some kind of crossmember for mounting.in my brother's setup he paid like $750 for a zoom clutch and clutmasters flywheel and like $100ish on a custom made crossmember to bolt the t56 up to the camaro </description>

  <description>oh you know it. The kit is pricey but comes with everything and takes away a lot of headaches is $3500 for the new K member, frame supports,manifolds,differential,drive shaft and Im not sure what else.I was also going to go with the T5 tranny, but I keep reading it wont hold up to the torque of an ls1, and mine will be getting a cam. So t56 it is. I also didnt think Id be needing that extra gear, cuz in like a T/a you cruis at around 2k doing 80.</description>

  <description>     amazing price for all that, did you get a trans with it as well as far as mounting the trans, my brother got a custom crossmember from a guy that  makes them. i'll get you his info, but im not sure what all applications he makes the conversion crossmember for. check out the build thread for my bros camaro for some info on american muscle and whatnot   you def are making the right choice going ls though, especially for that price. driftboy- tramp already pointed it out, but the turbo determines spool time and any NA engine is better for drifting, auto x and cornering in general since there's no lag. and the ls can get impressive gas mileage especially with the t56 and its 2 overdrive gears   </description>

  <description>Sick dude. Thanks for that. I may still go RB I dont know.. haha Im scatter brained. I may still go RB and accumulate parts for this. I keep forgetting that I need to have the car running and on the road by spring or so.To be completely honest I have never been a fan of the LS swap, because I like nissans motors. Dont get me wrong this is an excelent motor, but for my daily car.. I dont know. I may do the RB and get another car (swap the RB into it when Im good and ready) and then drop the LS in my current car for a toy.all that could change by tomorrow though, depending on how I feel.</description>

  <description> Quote, originally posted by DriftBoy07 V8 good gas mileage hahahahahahahaha   lol jk man. i love the LS1 though for real, good choice-thas what my dad wants me to get but im stickin with the quick spoolin SR for drift   Yeah itll get over 25 miles to the gallon. Better than a bulid SR making the same power.Quote, originally posted by gregfarz78 Nice choice if you got it at a good price, LS engines are getting cheap I'm tempted to ditch the VQ idea and go LS who knows at this point though.  I think there is a kit out there for LSx swaps but its not cheap might be better off making your own if you can weld.  Also I could be wrong but I think you want the GTO oil pan.  Did you get heads with that tooYes the LS1 gets pretty good gas mileage for a V8 you can get up to 30mpg highway probably 20mpg around town.Oh I got the SEM satin black today, wow I'm impressed its a very very close match to OEM trim it was well worth the $10/canYeah, I got it for $100 bucks    and Ive heard you want the gto oil pan, but when they swap into like S10s they need the corvette I dont know whats the difference I know the corvette one is thinner.  And yes I dont want a kit I just need like mounts. It didnt come with heads I had heads a while back with intake for this motor, but I sold them I can get both of those for under $250 though. I also need coil packs and ecu headers and all the front stuff. All in all Ill be around the same price to do the rb swap but making over 100 horses more than the stock rb.Oh almost forgot the transmission. I need to do some research as to what T5 will bolt up to it, so I can save a few pennies over the T56 tranny.And Tramp- I probably did bite off more than I can chew. I like challenges and well this is one for sure. The hardest part is getting the thing in there. If its more than I feel like putting in it, Ill sell it.I am also going to see a man about a horse.... Not really, but Im going to see if someone can reflash the ecu to bypass all the unnecessary sensors and stuff.  </description>

  <description>  I changed my mind today. I had planned this whole time to get an RB20 and make about 400 horse. I still want to go RB in my next project but since this car is going to see a few tracks and some abuse I figured I should do something with more ready available parts. So here are the pics to do the rest of the talking !2001 Ls1 less than 30k on the clock. Corvette oil pan.Box of goodies: Valve covers, pistons, oil return, ect.So thats the plan now. This is going to be an Ls1 car. And tackling it on a budget, impossible Not if you got the motor for what I got it for   Plans now find out how to put this thing in, do they make a conversion kit for the Ls into an s13 The motor is going to get a nice cam and thata probably it. 6-speed and a tune should net me close to 400. and still get good gas mileage (in the way of a v8)any advice on the matter is welcome !</description>

  <description>Quote, originally posted by gregfarz78 I tried out that krylon fusion its not that glossy in person but I wasnt a fan of it either doesn't really match the oem black trim perfectly and I'm anal about that lol gonna try out SEM trim paint.  Funny you posted this I was working on my headliner tonight tooYeah I see that. I would like to get something more oem "black" which is more like a charcoal then black. Tell me how that trim paint stuff works out. Quote, originally posted by autox615 sweet pete, hope you change your mind on selling it. I've regretted it every time I got rid of my 240(I have had four). Its not going anywhere.  No worries, I get in my moods (not frustrated with the car) but I quickly retreat the idea.Quote, originally posted by tramp_drift240 NIGGA I TOLD YOU IT WAS BRACELET STUFF. good call on checking the craft store though.im considering finding a way to remove the dome light in my coupe, since ive got the map lights in the front where my sunroof controls are. but then id have to recover it with the same fabric, and make it look nice.i dont see the point in two separate interior lights on the ceiling.  nice work though, im still wanting help with the paint and stuff on the roof of my car.   Ha yeah. Good call on that. It didnt look like the right size, but turns out it was near perfect.In your case I would do away with the dome light, maybe. I plan on getting a different looking kind maybe or figure out a way to update it somehow. I could help you recover your headliner if you buy the fabric. We can just tack in something over the hole before we cover it.No worries Friday I will be down there, and Im staying in crosslanes till saturday night or sunday morning so like you can give me your number and I can swing by or we could just do it another time. Let me know.Quote, originally posted by White Comet nice work! its funny, i just dyed my headliner and visors as well. not as dark as yours, but im working on the same stuff Haha 2 people now working on the same thing at the same time. Weird. What color did you go with  Mine isnt all that dark in the pics, but in person it looks nice. Its a good shade.</description>
