Moving Phantom's post to the top to ask a question:
>>John's Cars in Dallas,
>>will drop a NEW LT-1 V-8 and T700 tranny in my >>Z - along with new fuel pump, radiator, ECU, >>shortened drive shaft, etc. for a cool $9,900. >>5.7 liters, 325 HP, torque out the behind, and >>a brand new engine and transmission with >>associated warrantees.
Hello Phantom, this is almost sounds like a situation of Too Good to be True...
Does your quote have a breakdown? Can you send me a copy?
The reason I ask I am doing a conversion and really feel silly if I could have gone this route for that price: (Isn't the LT1 an Iron Block with Aluminum Heads? - still very good and within 50lbs of the Nissan I6. I thought the LS6 is the all Aluminum Chev engine- dunno the price of this though...)
Here are some rough prices that I found for what you are describing remember we are talking NEW....
Engine $3200 ( no intake/induction )
FI Induction $2000
Tranny $1500
Drive Shaft $200
Radiator $100
Adapters $300
Exhaust $500
Total about $8000 which means they are doing the work for ~2000.
Thanks for any info
Chuck
