need help finding parts for a swap?

[blackbyrd]

ok here is the deal ive always wanted a trans am but knowing that i was going to put heavy modifications into the engine ive desided jsut to swap because ive come to terms with me car and i dont really want to get rid of her so here is my deal

im going to start building a 427 to swap in when it is built. i need a little help compiling a list of parts i need to assemble the engine so i can just drop it in when im ready. i have covered most of it but im sure ive left out a lot. as of know i have the block heads and crank intake. but i need a way of getting a pcm and wiring harnes along with the ignition system and the accessory drive systems. and for those that have swapped a ls1 in already please tell me anything i will need to know when installing.

recap
need list of parts (accessories to the block and heads)
and places to get those parts.

Best place to start looking for a 427 swap in a 4th gen is car magazines. Seriously! They have time, space, tools, and a CRAPLOAD of freebies that rich jerks donate to them all the time so they can get some publicity outta it.
If you're gonna try it, I wish you all the best luck [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] That'll be a nasty machine if it's done right.

id rather build it my self i found the block and rotating assembly i just need a way of finding all of the parts outside the motor, all the fluid pumps ignition pcm and such


i agree if done right it wil be a designated viper killer

are you wanting a 427 SBC BBC or are you wanting to make a 427 LS1? ever look into a C5R .. its 15,000 pricetag is a lil scary for most people though

also a cammed ls1 can take out a viper with realtive ease..

what im doing is gonna be a resleeved ls1 block with a forged 427 rotating aseembly that only cost 5grand. but after that i need the heads cam intake and all the other goodies so it wil be an expensive motor just not a 15 grand motor

hit me up e-mail where to get that setup for $5000 in parts.

A friend is having a ls1 blocked based 427 built now, and his price is double that, and that is not through an expensive shop.

yeah 5 grand for a 427 resleved LS1 with a rotating assembly... not sure about that one.. maybe 5 grand for the block

[blackbyrd]

its the block and rotating assembly thats at www.rsbmotorsports.net its on the homepage down a little

but i did miss the fine print

rebuildible block required or $500 additional core charge

wow, that is not bad, price is more like 5500 plus core.. but still a killer price, i will have to post some questions about their setup, on ls1tech, as might be the way to go for my new motor.

Top that with some patriot performance stage 3 ls6 heads for $2K and LSX intake...

you can build a 600 horse motor for under 10grand that is my goal i think i dont know ive always wanted a v8 and i have the car to do it i dont know if i can wait that long to save up that kind of money to build it

[blackbyrd]

by the way can anyone direct me to where i can get a wiring harness and pullies and a pcm and ignigiton system for the ls1 please a salvage yard website or a place that sells used ones

[blackbyrd]

other than cubes can anyone tell me the difference between a 427 and a 408?
