LSX swap
hey guys, ive been away from this site for years now since i sold my 8 back in 04.
ive recently been thinking about buy a high mileage one for cheap as i can find and having a LSX swap performed. are there any out there? on this site? what companies can perform the swap flawlessly? thanks, josh. |
I dont know of any lsx swaps, maybe you could be the first.

I remember there was a famous shop (that works on RX7s and LSx swaps) asking for a car to perform a first swap on. Forgot which shop... PFS? Forgot. Search?

Speed costs money, How fast do you want to go? |
they were looking to do an 8 not too long ago and i do remember them offering a discount for the labor/parts.....i dont remember how much but so far as i know there are none finished yet
|
GET READY TO SPEND 10K PLUS ON THAT SWAP. THERE IS ALOT TO IT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO TWICE AS MUCH WORK AS I HAVE DONE WITH THE SR20 AND THE HANDLEING WOULD SUCK DO TO HOW YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO THE STEERING. NOW IF ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS DRAG RACE THEN YOU WILL BE OK, JUST BROKE. iF YOU ACTUALLY DIVE INTO THIS L;ET ME KNOW I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT ON SOME THINGS.
|
^ i doubt handling will be completely screwed, the ls1 swap in an rx7 still handled like a dream
|
^^ yea i dont think handling would be that bad at all.
id like to throw a LS2 in there. maybe head/cams. |
Ok maybe not totally screwed but it will not be the same. I had to move my rack forward 4.5" to just clear the crank pulley. The big problem would be the girth of a v8 you would have to put a second universal joint inline somewhere to clear the header on that side. By doing that it creates slop in the steering geomitry. Of the whole thing.
