V6 vs LS1 vs LS2

[corvette_tpi]

I am going to be selling it for between $5,000 - $6,000 for the whole lot. The engine is a Vortec 350 Chev with the Tuned Port Injection top end. Anyone let me know if they are interested.

I'd go the LS2, but i think you'd have some issues fitting in the transmission and the engine itself. Just remember the LS2 has almost all of it's torque available at initial acceleration. Quite impressive.

LS2 would be best but as Kill_9 stated fitting it could be a bitch. LS1 is a fairly uncomplicated swap and its been done befor. out of interet has anyone or does anybody know anyone who has fitted a LS2 into a VR/VS??

LS2 is like exact same exterior dimensions as the LS1.. It should be no harder getting the actual engine in than an LS1...

If you have the money go an LS2!

If you wanna do mods the LS1 has a big jump on development, depend how long you wanna wait as the LS1 has a proven record.

nothing beats a 5.0L v8 out of a vs with the right exaust it is the nicest thing to listen to its garunteed to fit easier to insure. mods arnt to expensive and with the money you save on buying the 5L over the ls2 supercharge it (or turbo which eva one takes your fancy) and all sorts of other mods. thats a quick ride and a nasty rumbly idle

How much does a V8 out of a vs going to cost? IM all about the options at the moment and prices help too!!!!

thats all brand new stuff from Bay City Holden Spare Parts in Frankston Vic i spose second hand stuff would be resonably cheaper but good luck finding a second hand ls2 cheaper than $7500 mmmmm 297kw mayb ls2 is plausable depends on how well it fits and with how much customization and at what cost. also how well will the drivetrain handle it.
