pugwash Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 no pm,s im looking at the 5.3 vortech v8 as it is lighter than the 350 and i dont need huge power realy is it? an LS1 is pretty much the same weight as a rover V8 which in itself is a very light powerpack. Can't beleive you would save much over a LS1- mine weighed in at 199kg all in- guess you migh save 10kg if you were lucky. good thing about LS1 is that they are reliable, powerful and easy to mend/tune as they are so common!

dollythelw Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 so are the 5.3's Jim agreed there are a lot more tuning goodies available for LS's though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 any ideas as to weight of the 5.3s Jez? had a quick gogle but coud'nt find the engine specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 pass - I dont know a specific number but I could find out, I'd guess they would weigh in pretty much the same as an LS - the price is cool though, one of the motors on my "must find a use for one of those" lists, that and the L67 Gen II with the right bits nailed to it mmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
