LSA Crate engine

[paulk68]

I know a few guys have used this motor, I am suprised I have not seen more. For the price it seems like a great choice and something that has the potential to make a ton of power. what are you thoughts, is it a much harder swap than a LS3?
thanks

the price you are seeing probably doesn't include the cost of the accessory drive,heat exchanger water pump and the heat exchanger if its the $12000 unit. figure adding another 2-3k on top of that for a front runner system and needed components.

I been doing research on the LSA...as there been any reported problems when boosting up the HP...

There is always a need for more horsepower but this engine pulls hard from the bottom and runs great in stock form. I think this is the best bang for the buck in the crate engine. It's 100hp short of the LS9 for half the cost. Bracket system and ECU from GM are all very reasonable.

Do you know what guys did with there LSA to get the 700-800hp...I would be happy with the stock power but I would be really really happy at 700-800hp...but only if i can do it without blowing up the engine and min mods i saw them saying that changed the pulley and instant 800hp...how true is this? Hey and thanks for the insight...Im looking at the package deal on jegs for the LSA/transmission combo...

Lingenfelter sells a package.its more then a dampener to get 800hp.

Buy the engine from Fairway Chevrolet in Las Vegas. Ask for Jason in parts, tell him I told ya.
