Hi guys just looking for some info.. to build which motor is better to use a LS1 5.7ltr or a 6.0 LS2, and what is stronger, for turbo/supercharging in the future aswell. cheers guys

go the 6l ls2. Its pretty simple isnt it. And get one of those genTT turbo kits. btw post some pics up of your vk bro

how much money have u got? if u want big power and strong motor, i would def go cast iron 6ltr block. cause around 600rwkw the alloy blocks start to give way. and u could even get a cast iron block and a 408 eagle stroker kit which is very well priced and makes good power

Don't bother with either mate. Get yourself an l76/98 6.0 out of a late model vz or ve. These heads flow ALOT better then the cathedral style heads found on ls1/2. Straight out of the box with a mild 224 @.50 cam will net you 400rwhp. hope this helps.

man get yourself an LS1, cheaper. Whack in a cam, headers, cwreck can do 4-1's, and an edit. And that will net you close to 300rwkw. And that will probably rip the rear upper control arms out of the body. And the LS1 from VT-Vy has the forward facing sump to make life easier. But by all means if youve got alot of cash spare...alot. Get yourself an LSX block, and go nuts. BTW QUIKVL..is that LS1 Turbo..in a VL??

its a ls2 cast iron block with 1500roller. yes in a VLC

...thats never going to see day light.

... anyway SLO-VK8 talk to Cwreck on these forums. Hes the man in the know. Im nearly convinced to spend all my hard on apprentice dollars on doing a conversion. with aircon and power steer...ultimate cruiseing Vl...300KW LS1, A/C, P/S....plain cool Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha, az, cause curtis wont finish it! Car ran 10.8 then he started pulling it apart... that was 2 years ago? Would be awesome to see finished.

get a L98 mate. better flowing heads. They make great power and they are actually very underated as the cam is a smaller cam than ls2. Put a nice TK from gm motorsports, mafless, otr, valve springs and you will get over 300rwkw. also no chance of piston slap as nearly all LS1s have

l76 has bigger heads, bigger flowing heads and larger valves because it was originaly designed for DOD motor ( displacement on demand) but they couldnt make it legal with emmisons. and L98 and L76 are both 6ltr LS2's L98 makes more power STD but if u wanna play around with the motor a lil bit L76 is the better option.

can anyone give a price prediction as a basic running conversion... LS1 - LS2 - L76/98 - so no mandatory modifications and ****
