    Default LS1 Conversion for VR/VS

    hey all

    ye just wondering if anyone on here has done a LS1 conversion for a vr/vs

    or seen it done, i think a while back there might have been a vr in SC's mag with a gen 3 conv.

    just wondering if it worth looking into, over doing a 5ltr conversion..

    and yes i'm thinking about this for my statesman so ye..

    thanks for ya time..

    Throw in the ls1 for sure!!
    True you can get a later model commy for less but it would be unique & mad as in a vs stato!!
    Been thinking about doing this for a while now with my calais, best bet would be to go to the wrecked vehicle auctions and score an ss or something and it should have everything ya need (minus broken parts ect)

    If you have the time and money, do an LS1 conversion, even just for something different. There's a few VR/VS's getting around with LS1's, but its still something a bit different.
