To all others thinking about swapping engines in. Get a grip!! Your Ls1 swap will cost you over 10k when you are done. I highly suggest you contact Longassname for some more power for half the price. Unless you are EXTREMELY good at fabricating precision subframe mounts you are going to spend a lot of money having a professional do it the first time around or tearing what you did to pieces and redoing it

I agree, the SVX could be a little quicker to be more fun, and I think LANs upgrades are great (hell, I've got the Stage 1), but to go as far as an engine swap? I don't think that's really necessary...
