Lately I've been looking at what it takes to install an LS1 into an s-chassis. I found a company that anyone should check out if they are interested at all. At www.sikky.com, they make a kit that comes with just about anything needed to install this motor into a 240/Silvia. It includes custom/sweet ass lookin mounts, a custom drive shaft, and most importantly a custom and hand made oil pan that allows you to leave your stock 240 crossmember un-molested and not hacked in half like some other kits require. It just seems like the most ideal swap even if your steering shaft is tightly squoozed between the custom exhaust headers. Nay sayers state that a heavy v8 is a disgrace in a 240, stating it grately throws off the weight distribution and balance. Ive read on various forums from people that have done the swap stating the motor actually weighs 80lbs less than the stock 240's KA24de! People need to remember that the LS series of v8 are the aluminum replacements to the very reliable and widely used iron blocked LT motors.
Enough rant, enjoy:
That exhaust note sounds better than any musician could play.
