LS1 & T56 swap into a 2nd gen

[AmericanThunder]

Thought I would share this. Don't know yet if I will go this route or a 462ci Butler engine in mine when the piggy bank is full enough, but its a great read.

You're a bad influence! :burnout:

Would you believe the LSx swap is cheaper?!

As you know I'm not keen on smooth idle. I think something as nice as the 2nd Gen TA shouldn't be running smooth with an LS1 in it. So a nice size CI engine with a deep sound, running any cam with that 462ci engine comes with will sound great as it comes.

A cammed LS7 should manage that!

LS swaps are boring! Put something interesting in it! Modern Hemi lump and keep the shaker hood?

Not a hemi! - I can keep the shaker with an LS swap and have reliability!!! :bolt:

Stick a bl##dy 427 ford lump in it then now that would be interesting :thumb::thumb:

At least go for an LSX 454 with ITB's
