I dont know the amount of time and headache involved with making everything work on an ls swap id rather build the stock motor and know that i can run the higher boost and not have problems. Plus everything works like it should.

I'm looking to get springs soon. Any suggestions on installation? I don't have air tools and I won't rent spring compressors to do it by hand again.

I do installs of any kind if interested, alignment included. PM if interested. No job too big or too small.

These are my reasons against the LSX so far;
1) WGP refuses to do anything but sell their 8000 kit. I have asked repeatedly to buy the wiring harness or other pieces and they always say they will get back to me but never do. I hate the idea of piecing a harness together with a donar harness that's over 10 years old. 2) Selling my mods is going to be a pain in the ass. The header and small pieces will be easy but the trans, turbo kit, all the pieces I will need gone to recoup costs will turn into a "well I want to pay this much" and it's used so this no matter how it's priced. 3) I still need a damn ls1 T56 bell housing and I can't find one to borrow or buy. 4) I have no idea how well the rear diff will take the kind of torque even the lightly modified LS1 I have will put out. (Not to mention the Axles and Chaise) 5) I'm at the mercy of others for pieces of the swap which I hate. Those are the big reasons but you see my concerns. I would love to do the swap but I don't want a half way completed swap... That just turns into a car that's never running again.
