Engine Swap

[Joker]

I have been seriously considering going to my local SLP and have them drop an LS1 into my camaro. Does anybody know of anybody who has had this done? I need some opinions.

I'm just curious, but if you want an LS1, why did you buy a 2002 V6 Camaro?

Also, I think you would be able to find a used LS1 w/ tranny and have another local shop install it for a little cheaper.

And, won't an engine swap void your warrenty?

If you were to swap with an LS1, would I be able to maintain my v6 insurance rate? Hmmmmm... [img]smile.gif[/img]

That was my main reason for choosing the v6, BTW.

If you don't report it, yes.

If you get caught, you can get introuble and they may not take any of your claims, or worse, call it insurance fraud.

ya but what are the odds of him geting caught.
I a little question what happens if they do call it insurances frad

[daWhoady]

I don't know the chances of him getting caught, matters if he gets into an accident or not. If he gets into an accident and he has an insurance adjuster come out, I think they might notice. It's up to the insurance company what to do. They may just ignore it, or they may just not file your claim, and you would be s.o.l.

You should report it, my friend swaped an lt1 back in 99 into his 93 camaro and got hit by somebodys grandmother. The whole front end was ruined and when the cop came to the scene he had noticed the lt1 cause he had owned a vette and to make a long story short, because of the cops 'love' for cars and knowledge of base model camaro not having a v8, my friend got busted and was sued. I dont know all the details but he regrets it at least.
