I haven't found anybody who knows anything about in...

[Garageaholic]

a guy on the forum did an ls1 swap...that's 5.7 liter and much more of an impressive swap.

[justin_l_]

Was it the ls1 or the 5.3?

[xwill112x]

ls1

[justin_l_]

ls1

I've only seen this gm based build with a 5.3, lots of good info if it's your thing though

Way too wide.

There is a lot of work involved for us to do an LS1 swap in Oz. Are you able to do it yourself at home? If not, this swap will be too expensive

There's a few other guys who've done 5.3L iron-block swaps.

Other alu 5.7L swaps:
iflytii with his race car (e30tech)

Blip Bavarian's "Blue Lagoon" project on here

Hey mate yeah i am i have a full fab workshop at my disposal. Are you saying there's more involved due to the adaption that bmw had to make. I.e. Brake rod, RH power steering arm

It also costs 3-4 times what a 5.0 would for a motorset.

OP, why are you asking if anyone has finished one? Are you stuck or are you contemplating?

1UZ are awesome as well for the dollar, and my old roomate in Florida sells the bellhousing adapters at xatracing.com

You have to move the booster. Some use a remote-mounted unit, with new pedals and all new hardlines run through the car. I'm giong with a master cylinder mounted where the battery tray is (was) with E36/E46 pedals. This is a fuckload of work to set up correctly.

Powersteering will be tighter than a fish's arsehole. I've ditched power steering on mine to give myself more room, but it'll still be tight. Good luck gettting 1 7/8" headers in there, probably have to go with 1 5/8"

You'll have to get the loom repinned to suit the holden ECU.

You'll have to upgrade the brakes

You'll have to do a little massaging of the trans tunnel to fit the T56

etc, etc.

So same amount as a 1uzfe basically. And brakes etc is common sense if your doubling output power. im going a uuc front kit and just rekitting the rear.
