    Ls1 block score!

    ah okay I have a set of LS1 pistons and rods I got off of ebay for $230. I cleaned them up with looking at making a 5.7L out of a 5.3L block on a 3rd project. Then I read up on the weakness of the stock LS1 rods/pistons, so I don't know if I want to OEM on that or not. If you are going to do...

    LS Swap engine adapters. Which ones?

    I went with the Dirty Dingo as well, and yes I had to cut a bit out of the crossmember for the driver's side front point of the engine doesn't hit. I also pushed the motor BACK, so that my driveline is in the proper place. All else seems just fine. dougbert
