Alright I got my first look at a complete LS1 Engine sitting on the floor and not in a car. I measure it for length and hieght. The numbers i came up with are:
Height from bottom of oil pan to top of motor 24.5-25 inches Length from back of head to front of water pump pulley 27.5-28.0 Supposedly the LS1-LS6 wieghs 497 lbs fully dressed. What does the standard 914 V8 small blocked weigh fully dressed? (With all of the Conversion parts) These engines are not cheap right now. I am hearing about 4000 for the complete engine, tranny, computer, and harness. You can sell the tranny for 800-1500 dollars so that may help ease the pain. I would like to try and mooch the motor off my buddy and see what will need to be clearenced to fit it in a 914. I have a feeling that the fire wall will need to be cut to clear the water pump pulley. Any other thoughts on this? |

RHS doesnt have a kit for the LS1/LS6 engines.
