I have no dealings with this mob and don't intend to. But I am curious as to why you say 'careful' but then don't elaborate?careful
It paints a certain picture without any specifics to add any weight???

These days you can buy a running complete LS1, Trans and Loom for $2000 or even a wrecker..

Im definitely not doubting you can get a ls1 for that money. Infact ive seen them way, way cheaper.
But the whole idea that thats all its gonna cost is frOcking hilarious, once the engine is in and running plus engineers report etc your looking at 10k.
And i highly doubt a STOCK ls1 would hold a candle to a half well built six. The one linked is a lot of money for not a lot, but would be nice and driveable i suppose.

That 202's on eBay, peak power is 244hp and torque 256nm, LS1 out of a VT produces 345hp and 470nm... So yep, it will blow that 202 out of the water!
LS1 conversion is best value for money imho!

Turbo would be best bang for the buck but you'll lose driveability and add alot more complexity, cost depends how reliable you want it to be? eBay turbos are cheap, doubt they'd last long though..So out of intrest how much should a half well built 6 cost ? and what would need to be done to the straight 6 to make it compete with a standard ls1 ? . Keen to know

There's only one solution. Stick a Hemi in it with a GMH 3.3 Litre sticker om the air filter housing.

What's your budget?So in Brisbane i have been enquiring about the LS conversion into my UC to various performace shops and no one has come back to me with a quote . Any sugestions ? . All i know from talking to an engineer is that im limited to the LS1 5.7 L its the largest i can go because of the weight of the UC torana that's all the info i have been able to obtain

There was a bit of a ruckas at the Collie speedway years ago when the scrutineer decided to tear down the 202 from the the winning car in the visible stock class and found hemi rods on an offset ground crank.

From my experience with a half well built six, depending on spec, budget 5 to 6 grand for the long and another 2 to 3 grand for all the bolt on parts around the long motor. There are lots of small costs people forget to included on a build hence the saying figure out what you think it will cost and double it.
Also, having done both, a mild 308 with similar performance will probably end up being slightly cheaper, sounds strange but the motor is in a lower state of tune so needs less work/labour spent on it plus more people modify 308s so the parts tend to be cheaper.
Also don't underestimate a time and money for a LS conversion, I can't see how you would have it converted and done for less than 10 grand and then you will still have a 200,000+km engine in your car.
