    Hi Tristan,
    Click the link in my signature it will take you to the build up thread, the LS1 swap doesnt start till a few pages in and the whole thread includes a lot more then just the motor conversion.

    Heres a few of the last vids i put up
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ58x371-E4&feature=related]YouTube - ‪Ls1 county first drive‬‏[/ame]
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy-Az3fqeKo&feature=related]YouTube - ‪WOOOOW!!.wmv‬‏[/ame]
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qg3xPgfdyA&feature=related]YouTube - ‪Ls1 drive‬‏[/ame]

    I havnt linked this one to my thread yet, but its a drive by up to 3rd gear, gearing is very low.

    I have actually gone with an LS1, my engineer told me the limit for my vehicle was 5800cc so never bothered looking for a l98/l76 etc, i am also building on a pretty low budget so for 1500 this motor was a bargain, it came with everything from the ECU/Loom etc to the full exhaust/clutch etc.

    To get some extra poke out of it ive done a few mods and a cam swap, from what i have been told i should expect about 450hp out of it

    Looks Great!

    How much easier is a build with no body, I'm sure it made my buddies with Jap 4WD's jealous as they try fitting their LS over front guards. As for the LS1, nothing wrong with the 5.7, especially if you came from a 3.5 (revs are key). I am good friends with a guy who has a stock 5.7 in a GQ shorty. He only has two speeds, stationary and flat out, I think he squeezes out about 800hp just from shear determination

    I will definitely read your thread this week, will probably have to take a few days off though, it's long!!! I would love to give you the number of my engineer (NSW/Vic) but I found out today he has pulled the pin. There is no problem with a 6.2l in a Defender in Victoria, to bad about NSW. Hard to pass up a well priced LS1 anyway.

    When do you think it will be ready for the road? Would love to have a look at it!!!

    Regards, Tristan

    P.S I have a new LT95 and t-case when you need it
