Default RE: LS swap for you to see!

I wanna do a similar build, but using a 94 LX sedan (im gonna get a GSR). How much did the P&P set you back? Also, did you get new pistons or rods?

I am doing work for a friend
he got the stuff off of one of his buddies for cheap.
we did not put rods or pistons in the buck stops here i guess
but what ever right he isn't going to drive it super hard all the time and if the bottom end falls out we'll put a new one in and she'll never break right! i hope
no this is going to be a long project it is already month 2 he is so slow! lol

I was jus wonderin about how you got the motor. I was looking at SunriseJDM and they say that they don't include a alternator, starter, etc and say that you have to get this off your old motor. So are you gonna take the alternator, starter, PS pump, A/C compressor, etc off the old engine and install it on the new one?

Well the plan for the swap is a non vtec
with a 50 shot from a zex kit
possibly turbo so it will be turbo ready but most likely won't get it cause this is the worlds longest enginge swap the engine has been in pieces or months now!

but its comnig sloooooooooooooooowly but its coming

here's a llittle head job a did what do you think?
