Been done. If you search there's a member on here who has an LS1 powered Z32.

But why would you use an LT1? Not much of a step up even from the NA VG30

yeah hit us up with some pictures, congrats on a successful swap, I would have chosen the ls1/2 variants, but I imagine cost or engine availability (already had one maybe?) was an influence

well thats great that u feel that way but we just did it piss off every one that didn't think we could. This was after putting a toyota truck on top of a chevy frame and drive train and also putting diesel motor in a 1979 ford 3/4 ton all custom done with a torch and welder so bring your engine swap to town and we'll see who makes the sickest rides.

Dumbass huh? Good attitude to have there kid. Thats great that you did it and that you're happy with it. Certainly not the first and certainly not the last though so don't jump on a "i'm the man cause i'm original" soapbox.

Why don't you post up some pics, try to have a better approach to things (don't let people on the internet get your panties in a bunch), and stay awhile.

Tell him NSR...... That is not the first or the sickest swaqp in a Z32 ever by all means. I like the RB26 and as much as I hate to say it the LS1 is a decent match too.

He only swaped in a LS1 casue he is from the Mid-West. I would have at least droped a Q45 V8 in. Everyone and there mother has a small block Chevy swap in everything that moves. That is why they are gay! Hell there are LS1 in Motorcycles!
