if u have no ls1 parts to start with do not go l76 with ls1 ecu

l76 ecu is way more smarter just the software needs catchin up
it will get there

if u get something thats a complete kit it jsut makes it less stressful

lik ewhich parts to get

and if something goes wrong what do u do
if u have to take it to a mechanic to fix they will have no f idea

i wire up conversons everyday so im used to it
but for your joe blow mechanic they have no idea

you have to make it as simple as possible so repair and diagnosis is easy

imagine goin to holden asking for a part and u have a bitsa engine

anyway research price of crate motor very carefully

i get a few emails a month from people asking what goes with what cause they buy stuff and bits are missing and they just spent 800 on an ecu and it doesnt match the engine

i have 5 ls2/l76 looms at home being modified for customers so gettin stuff for them is piss easy

just remember crate motors u only get the motor usually unless u state what u want
and if u buy it from usa there is no proof of what yr getting so double and tripple check

anyway just remember no matter which way u go its not cheap

4 to 5 g for motor then depending where u get the extra bits could be anything up to 4 g getting rest of the bits so motor runs
