hello everyone i just bought a 1998 camaro v6 with a blown head gasket
i am undecided weather to fix the blown head gasket or to do an ls1 swap what do you guys recomend
what procedure will be needed to do an ls1 swap

 

the head gasket is easy if your doing it. The LS1 swap isnt. Unless you dont plan on having the car on the road anytime soon, but do have a lift, air tools and lots of time and money. You may want to go with the head gasket.

 

LS1 swap is not cheap or easy. I would replace the head gasket and save up for a LS1 car

 

what would i have to do for smog i live in california

 

If you're seriously thinking about the swap (not a small task) you'll need to get a full doner LS1 car so you can get all the correct computer, sensors and emissions equipment (especially if you live in Cali, it's probably technically illegal to do the swap).

 

yeah man i would just go for the head gasket, maybe buy an LS1 later. The head gasket won't be the worse thing to change, then again i've only changed heads on a modular engine..lol.

 

what about a 5.3 ls1 beause i kno this guy that is selling his complete for less than a grand

 

Fix the head gasket. That way you have time to think out your plan.
