steps on ls1 swap

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

The book is very outdated but does have good info. Heads will not net you a 100hp gain on a ls1 unless you spend about 3k on the heads completely done. Most heads will show 40hp gain to the wheels give or take. AFR, TFS, ETP head will usually net you about a 60 hp gain. Also note that many of these gains are seen on motors with FAST90 or FAST92 intakes.

*EDIT* SOrry I meant to quote Blown240sx.
