Not sure if my engine really is stock

[DrachenFire]

after seeing many pictures of different sport car engines, i noticed that mine had a lot more to it... i saw a picture of a V6 Camaro (4th gen like mine) and even though it wasn't a Z28, i thought that there should be some of the same stuff, but it wasn't anywhere near what i have in mine... i'll take some pictures tomorrow and maybe someone can tell me =D

[bubba428]

DUDE!!!! you have a V8 in yours...its alot bigger than a V6 and it is in there very tight...You can't compair a V6 to a V8 at all...totaly different engines...not even a little similar

[98tadriver]

i dont know what the hell you just said, but it touched me, right here *points to heart* Is it a 2JZ?

Mk, what sports cars were you looking at? and what V6 camaros were you looking at. remember 93-95 ( except a few cali models) had a 3.4 and then 96-02 hada 3.8, but either way V6's are smaller then a LT1. there should be nothing different about your engine, there could be a few add on's, but they dont get bigger, nor different, unless you had a LT4 intake on it, or had an LS1 in it, but in order to fit an LS1 in, you gotta use a 98-02 front clip to accomidate the larger size of the engine. post the pics and we will disect what you are talkign about cause in a tad bit confused still

Well I had compared it to a picture of a V6 which I know they're different sizes... It just seemed weird that there were a lot of things I had never seen in an engine before... I just googled it and they seem the same, it was just weird with a lot of the things in there... It's hard to explain... I've grown up around a lot of rice =P

[V]

sell the Z and buy rice then, spare all of us

Wow, I think my IQ just went down 3 points :scratch:

is it facing the wrong way???

but in order to fit an LS1 in, you gotta use a 98-02 front clip to accomidate the larger size of the engine.

The LS1 is a smaller engine than an LT1 or Gen 1 small block.

- JustinShut up, stupid.







SO, wanna buy an LS1 front clip? :naughty:

[V]

the ls1 front clip is needed to clear the forward facing air intake. you can run a 90degree elbow on the intake and fit inside a lt1 front clip.

[BonzoHansen]

the ls1 front clip is needed to clear the forward facing air intake.Yeah, focus on this sentence. :nod: :lol:

Really now? I heard it was the other way around but your answer makes more sense, hm, I forget who I heard that from but i heard it was bigger, but then again, I deal with V6's, not big boy toys lol

[maroman88]

346CI vs 350CI so the LS1 is smaller hehe

[Blacdout96]

So what your saying is, an LS1 can fit in a 93-97 Fbody, as long as you dont use the airbox? hm, is it shorter or just height wise? DAMNIT now you got me thinking, curse you guys and your LS1 knowledge lol

[ar0ck]

You can use an LS1 style lid on an F-body, it does not require the LS1 front clip. People have made conversions using the existing hardware off an LS1 car. The biggest difference is between the two is the radiator support.

[Blacdout96]

Well then I gotta ask Smoking, do you got any front clips of an LS1? let me know, cause im sick of everyong saying put a V8 in my damn car, but for the price I might as well get a damn 93-97 Z28, but an LS1, now I am intrigued....

[V]

bronzo has a very nice front clip for sale

[Blacdout96]

well what i mean as in front clip is motor, trans, wiring harness, not the body components incase I made it sound that way, but bonzo's got a whole setup eh?

you don't need a 98-02 fron't clip...Tiago put an LS1 in his 94 firebird and its still got the stock body. You just have to use a different air intake tube. + its better that way cause the best anyone would expect is an LT1.

read my whole post, I said I DONT need the body components, just the engine/trans/wiring really.

[Blacdout96]

Yes. Dismantling should begin in July....

Keep me updated cause im more then willing to buy as long as its a good price, adn easy to install.
