why?

And At this point when this happens the car will be gutted not driven ever only raced and the entire a/c system will be gone I don't see the point in trying to make that work out It will probably be a headache any.

An LS swap into a Z is a sick idea, my only concern would be making the car more nose heavy that it already is.

Interesting about making the car heavier.

I always thought LS motors were pretty light, maybe I am wrong?

I was just about to ask how would weight distribution be effected by something like this

Mike · 09-12-2011, 07:12 PM

I think the LS motor is lighter. Pretty close in any case.

I've done all I'm doing to my engine, with just a tune and intake/test pipes/exhaust. When the engine blows, an LS is going into it.

But mine is just a track car anyways and already has no resale value.

And of course when you say LS swap you will be going with a LS7 of course, right?

I don't know at this point. Hopefully it is two or three years away. I know I will kill it eventually though.

Probably by then a LS7 or even a LS9 will be very cheap.

I would be curious to see what the weight difference of one of our motors compares to an LS.

Skeeterbop · 09-12-2011, 07:31 PM

while I can't find a weight of the VQ, here is the weight of a couple LS engines from gmperformanceparts.com: LS1= 409 LS3= 415 LS7= 440
The LSA and LS9 don't have weight listed, but if i had to guess i would guess somewhere around 440 if not a little more.

Skeeterbop · 09-12-2011, 09:43 PM

I would go with the LSA, it's just a detuned LS9.
