Not sure if this guy is on the site, or if this has been posted already. I was at a car meet in Naples last night when I saw a truck pull in the parking lot with an AP1 on a trailer. It turned out to be a V8 swap (I heard LS2 and LS6, not sure which), and it was on spray. The thing was sick. I know I've seen a few of these swaps in progress, but this was the first one I've seen running. They took it off the trailer and made a couple laps around the parking lot. It sounded insane. One of my friends got some pictures of it, I'll post them once he gets them online. Anybody else seen this thing around? Is he on the site?

 

LS shouldn't be to hard in a S2000 I've got one in a 78 280Z with a Ferrari body on it. Should premier it in the year 2030.

 

Way to set your goals high Good luck, I would like to see that!

 

do you know what he used for his steering rack?

 

I have too many projects.

I would love to see a LS motor in a S2000. Hopefully it fits behind the cross member so no need for a different steering rack.

 

thing is that its electronically controlled so if you want it all to work right you'll have to make both s2000 and ls1(whatever car you get it from) ecu to work. I'll probably just swap in a rx7 steering rack

 

I bet when he corners the engine just keeps going straight


LOL

 

I think the engine is only about 150lbs heavier, thats totally acceptable. I might look into this swap when my warranty runs out.

 

you can just as much power or more with a turbo kit on a stock motor, i dont see the reason to go thru all that work.

 

Cause an LS motor sounds much sicker than a turbo IMHO. haha.
