LS1 vs Scooby Options

[HUBBSTER]

Conversion guys

what are the pros & cons of the LS1 vs the Scooby ?

I'm leaning towards the LS1 or LS3 bcus I like American and naturally aspirated

Which engine/trans has the best power to weight ratio ?

Thanks

You can't really know which YOU would like most until YOU experience each and decide for yourself. For me, depending on how I'm going to drive it, a 2270 4, 3.6 six, or LS1 water cooled without question.

I love a good suby conversion, without a doubt. But there's nothing like a v8, and when you can get the weight down to that close to the suby.... mmm, tasty. You HAVE to experience it yourself.

A n/a v8 vs a turbo suby... Which will last longer and be cheaper to rebuild when pushing the performance way past 300 hp/tq? SBC.

Rotary is an awesome fit, won't abuse the tranny, is easy to get 200+hp... But when an LS1 can get better mileage with 300+ hp and more importantly TORQUE (consider the tranny)... And you experience the difference of the sound, pull, feel, pure satisfaction that goes with having a v8 under there.... Hmm, did I mention you need to experience it yourself before you can answer this question for you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
