now the s2k will now have some balls aka torque in the lowend.

i dunno about u, but that whole "SCREAMING 10k RPM REDLINE" thing isnt for me. i dont like how it needs to be at the edge to make the most out of it.

that ls1 makes it an interesting car. just like a monstermiata XD

Fun car to drive!!! Best 2 days of my life when I had one to drive. Then I had to trade back cars :( wish my buddy needed my 4 door more often!

Dropping in an LS1 is pure stupidity........ all that thing needs is a properly matched turbo kit

i read the entire thread, suprisingly he hasn't got ripped on yet.

Kudos to him for doing everything himself . Would I have put a GTO engine in my s2k? hell no. Part of the reason people buy the s2k is because of the engine thats in it.

This dude must have lost a lot of quarter miles with his S , and this is just a way to make it all up.

I agree with that. 9K red line is awesome. 8K redline on the old si is what I love about that car too.

LS1? Why didn't he use a Honda V-8? Keep it brand loyal?

if you read the thread, he goes on to say that the ls1 has more aftermarket support. lol and where are you going to find a v-8 honda engine?

Muwahahha......so true......honda never made a V8. The biggest one is the pilot and the ridgeline (i think thats what they call it)

[Garu]

isn't the car gonna be slower with that big engine?

[Kevin@nextmod]

If he can have wide enough tires at the back...it won't be a problem.

[dentinger]

holy shit, can u imagine boosting that LS1??
v8's make MAD POWER when boosted.

and ive seen a guy drop a mid 90's civic body onto a corvette chassis/engine/suspension

i'm surprised at how much room there still is under that hood

LS1 is a great engine to work with, but I would have kept it brand loyal, although it would have been tough.

Its going to be very front heavy, to bad for him. Not more Auto-X, he'll do well at the strip though.

I thought the same thing at first . But apparently the LS1 has aluminum block and many other aluminum parts making it only a little heavier than stock.

off topic .. but for those that watch Top Gear , don't you just love the way Jeremy says aluminum --- "aluminium"

If I remember, the S2000 engine (F20C) is about 315-330lbs, and the LS1 engine is about 380-400lbs. So yes, it's heavier . . . but that LS1 motor isn't exactly a heavy weight.

Wow I had no idea it was that light.

Still inefficient for its size ;)
