im tired of these imports beatin my a$$! i feel like ive got the slowest f-body out there. 1.) its a 6. 2.) its a vert. i still have trouble beatin civics and preludes. i hate it. i thought about gettin a supercharger, but thought a swap would be the way to go. this probably belongs in the lounge of something, but the reason for the post is pricing. i wanted to know if the pricing i have is a reasonable amount for an actual swap to an ls1. i called a shop that worked on my uncles mustang, and the guy said that he would get an ls1, tranny, and exhaust with install for $7700. all used parts and components, so i wanted to know if its a good buy or not. another reason for wanting an ls1 is that my insurance would still charge me the v6 premium. so i could have the performance of a z28 for the cost of a 3800. any reply is appreciated.

That sounds about right.. better to just trade your car in though.
My LS1 swap is projected to cost me about $3600 with Zach and I doing the installation.Keith - Chicago<br /><a href=\"http://www.hptuners.com\" target=\"_blank\">HP Tuners - PCM Reprogramming</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.dxsoftware.com/magnus/\" target=\"_blank\">97 Firebird V6 to LS1 swap</a><br /><b>V8 9.967@132.78</b> 1.322 60\' NA Heads/Cam<br /><b>V8 10.295@128.48</b> 1.363 60\' NA Cam Only<br /><b>V8 10.987@119.31</b> 1.422 60\' NA Stock Internals<br /><b>V6 13.674@98.22</b> NA<br /><b>V6 12.394@104.91</b> N20 100HP

Yeah the swap is A LOT of work.... you'll need all the motor/tranny stuff, then a new rear end later down the road when you destroy yours. I've been told by countless people to just buy a car with a V8 which I might do as well...<b><a href=\"http://members.cox.net/95batmobile/d86f.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Sinister Six©</b></a><br /><a href=\"http://www.sounddomain.com/id/95batmobile\" target=\"_blank\">My \'95 Bird</a><br />I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
