Engine transmission combos
Hey,
looking like the LSA is the best option but perplexed to where to get these from. Has anyone a contact in the club to get a crated engine or donor car available? Going for the crated option means sourcing loom clutch gearbox and accessories so need some advice where to get and what clutch and gearboxes ( tremec) suit the LSA any help much appreciated Cheers Langers |
LSA engine from here, scroll down they have the gearbox as well;

what modena said.
Tr6060 MG9 is designed for the LSA. LSA crate comes with clutch. LSA loom is GM part 19259293. there are australian Tremec distributors too. you can even buy the crate from your local holden dealer |

"looking like LSA is the best option" so in the spirit of providing the help you're seeking - get thee to an optometrist. You're welcome :) LoBelly |
Chris,
Berwick Holden are also an outlet for surplus Holden HSV parts as well. They regularly have engines for sale, there prices seem in line with Holparts. Cheers Dave |
You know you want to put a supercharged Coyote in the beast, don't go to the dark side young Jedi!!

LSA is a great choice, but here's a challenge...
See if you can make the engine look less like a production engine and give it a bit of old school character. Guys here have done amazing things with LS motors to make them look like old carbureted motors. Let's see what an LSA looks like without so much "stuff" hanging off every corner. |

Bling it... You know you want to !! :3DSMILE:
|
...or to appease the Ford fans who just have a quick glance into the engine bay, put some Coyote covers around an LS motor!

Prestons Motors will do you a turn key LSA crate motor.. :)

Thanks for all the feedback guys
i guess the intention was to put a Coyote ( supercharged would be nice) but not sure why the Chev keeps coming up as the best bang for $ Happy to be persuaded otherwise. Do Ford Dealers offer ADR coyote crated engines at a competitive price to the Chev? Thanks Dave- i do remember you mentioning Berwick Holden- will call them next week How far away is the beast from being on the road? |
Hi Chris,
Was hoping to tickle it this weekend, but the headers haven't turned up from being coated, not HPC fault, but couriers, was dispatched last Tuesday. Also i'm missing a MAP sensor pigtail, The engine loom i'm using has an LS2 map sensor plug, but the Map sensor is from the LS3. nearly there for a first start, but not this week. |

Didn't intend mine to look like a Ford motor. Just a little more old school and needed to be rid of the plastic intake. The blower was a win/win in my eyes.;)
The problem some of us had with the later Ford engines is fitting it in the engine bay. And unlike you lucky buggers O/S, had to meet emissions and such. The only thing now I hear a Ford motor saying was "WTF was that" as I scream by !!:D |
Pretty much any of the combinations available today has more power than you'll know what to do with. Given the original 427 Side Oiler was only rated at 425 HP even a mildly tuned naturally aspirated LS1 can make those sort of numbers. Engine technology has come a long way in 50 Years
With an LSA in there you'll be talking like Bill Cosby about the Super Snake Shelby built for him. Cheers |
According to official GM PR people, at least 85% of their products are still on the road.
THAT means only 15% of them made it home ! I'd wait and buy a GT 350RC crate motor, unbelieveable performance, a flat plane crank and an absolutely joyous sound. :) |
Thanks Rog246
A GT 350RC crate motor sounds intriguing! Where can I get one of those- my local Ford dealer? |
Rog, I've always preferred Ford motors so I wish I could agree with you, but the GT350RC just sounds a bit ricer and "blatty" to me.
