o i just read the faq can i drop the ls9 engine in my 95 z28? if so where can i find it?!!!!
how much they run in price? IF NOT I JUST WANT 450 HP 500HP FOR NOW sry bout the caps!

 

The LS engine will fit your 95, but getting it to run could be the problem. The ignition system is different, the fuel system is different, the cooling system is different, and the exhaust is different. You could probably use the PCM and wiring harness from 98+ Z28, and tune the PCM to handle the Vette engine. As for the LS9, it is scheduled for 2010, and I doubt that your running gear will be able to handle it. Start filling up your piggy bank, start upgrading your power train, and start reinforcing your chassis.

 

so i guess my z28 cant convert performance wise to a ss without going thru hell?! well i guess ill just make it look cool then......umm...theres a body kit in the very near future!
ac\tually what are som things i can do to reach 450 500 hp 400 would probably even shut me up. i know from my saturns that exhaust CAI throttle body all that dont doo much so what can i do. i know heads are good where can i find these? cam shafts, what do i hear about these quad cams? can i get that?! what all would i have to reinforce to get a supercharger? i know our engines are already pretty high performance, you haft to do alot before even thinking of a turbo with my saturn. can you guys plz gimme a list of mods that can help me reach my goal. i understand the 4bangers better i guess!LOL
thanks!

 

You can get 400-500 HP from your LT1 without too much drama. You can get a customized heads and custom ground cam from Lloyd Elliot which can produce 410-430HP with the stock displacemant, or add a 383" stroker kit and with the same package get up to 500HP. You will need to add long tube headers, a LT4 intake manifold and a larger throttle body, larger injectors, and get the PCM tuned to handle the mods. You are not gong to make nearly the amount of power you want by just using bolt on stuff.

If you want to go froced induction, and make really big power, you will have to drop the compression, get forged pistons, get forged H beam rods, forged crank, and 4 bolt mains. And then do all the things shown above.

An engine like this will have tremendous torque, so make sure to beef up the chassis & running gear, or it won't move too well.

 

thanks

 

lol, how much mpg would you get with that corvette engine just stock??? Then all 500hp'd out??
