I would also caution against the LS1, simply because changing the engine will change where the car's center of gravity is, and the height of that center of gravity.
... and you'll have to upgrade the front suspension for the extra weight. You'll be sacrificing nimbleness for straight line speed... ... and we'll have one less member to talk about 5m tuning with... ![]() |

what is weight difference between the ls1 and 5mge??
engine is about 300 and w58 is around 90 dry. http://www3.sympatico.ca/dean.anderson4/weights.html 1uz is about 390 i think. ls1 is about the same i think a little heavier.

it all depends on what kinda power you want. LS motors give great power and do really way much more than a 7m.
there will be a crap ton of low end tq with a v8, and with the v8, i think the center of gravity will actually be lower, which would be a good thing. im more in favor of keeping the 5m tho, as im a fan of keeping them brand specific. if i get the chance, i want to tryin and build a hopped up 5m sometime.
