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. |

I'm confused about the title. LS1 or V8. Isn't that the same thing? No. Simply because the LS series engines aren't the same things as the old cast iron Chevy 350 heavy brick from 1954. When someone says V8, most people think of an old 350. The LS series engines are another modern breed with drastically different power-to-weight characteristics and efficiency. |
