LS Swap guide

Lol, isn't Sikky making those items now? Much better than Asylum's kit price imo.

Oh you were talking about the Asylum kit. I have no idea. I found that website when I first did my research but I didn't have enough info and it said "coming soon" so I disregarded it.

Jesus... it also says $3500 for the kit. That's damn expensive and not really competitive... at all.

The kit includes an oil pan, drive shaft and headers. I believe that's the brunt of the cost. Other kits require those things but don't come with them. Considering that and the fact no one else makes those off the shelf parts for the LS swap, I think it's very competitive.

It says coming soon. Got any pix of the full kit?

Arc Asylum also produces a LSx e30 swap kit. I have all the hard parts in my garage at the moment. Haven't started the install yet though.

Kit includes:
Engine mounts / Transmission mount
Oil pan (front sump Canton pan)
Headers
Aluminum driveshaft
Steering shaft

I'm not sure if it's optional, but he also included a pedal adapter for manual brakes / pedal box.

Option: header back exhaust

The VSR E30-LS1 kit is 1200.00 plus shipping (40.00 domestic and 180.00 international). The price includes the CD

The sikky kit also comes with an installation guide from what I'm told.

Here's a recent state of mine (sikky kit)

yeah, know that the pans are tricky to weld though

But come on guys Garret has done all the legwork, buy his guide as least

I would have bought a kit from him but Sikky was local to me and the sump is so pimp

[Madhatter]

The E30LS1 kit does need an oil pan, you have to modify a stock one by cutting out a section and having it welded in.

We already have a swap guide with everything you need to know. Call Garret at 206-218-3839

I've updated the write up with the VSR kit information. The VSR kit seems very basic. The sikky kit does everything for you (when the full kit is finally released).

I just finished an LS swap into a Soarer, and we used a set of Hooker headers. Fit was awesome and tight, worth having a look for an E30.
