I'm confused about the title. LS1 or V8. Isn't that the same thing?
Either way I love to read through these engine swap threads for V8 and Subaru motors. Not too many bad choices as long as you take the time to do it properly. 914 is a great car whether air cooled 4 or 6, or water cooled 4,6,8. |

Not too many bad choices as long as you take the time to do it properly. 914 is a great car whether air cooled 4 or 6, or water cooled 4,6,8. well yes the gm ls series engine is a V8. but there have been other V8s installed in the 914, buick/olds/ponitac/rover aluminum V8, sbf [small block ford], sbc [small block chevy], Porsche,and reports of audi also. the ls engine is finding it's way into more transplants because it is a very compact and powerfull V8 package and is very affordable with a large performance aftermarket. the all alloy block and heads of the ls1 and some versions of the 5.3 make for a very light V8 that rivals the bigger Porsche 6's in weight and surpass in power. |
