Project plans

**Lil_D** · 11-19-2010, 05:19 PM

so I have been thinking and looking around craigslist as I save my money for a project.

My question is what do you think about this plan

I want to do an LSx swap into a 240sx hatch. So i thought if I could find a good deal on a camaro with an LS in it i could drive that while I rebuild my current 240sx. Then i thought if i do that i can just pull the motor from the camaro and rebuild it and the transmission and do a swap into the camaro that you wouldnt normally do.

What do you guys think?

I am not totally sure what you are trying to say here. What do you mean by "do a swap into the camaro you wouldn't normally do"? I don't know much about the 240sx but it should be do able.

the LSx to 240sx shouldnt be that hard but i kinda want to still drive the camaro. not sure what to put in it any ideas for the camaro?

You can do whatever want. I like interesting swaps. BUT....
Here' my suggestion:
Its a Camaro, so it needs a Chevy engine. Or at least an American engine. It definitely needs a V8 engine. IDK what a RB25 is...hold on let me google that.

oh ok its a Nissan straight 6 cylinder.

^haha
Chevy motors swap well into anything, even the ford guys do it. But it is Blasphemous for it to happen the other way around.
I don't see anything wrong with just buying an ls-1/trans and putting it in the 240sx. But I don't see the reason why you need to buy a whole other car to do so. Multi projects suck. And the more you have the longer it takes to complete.

The rb is a really nice motor and thanks for your opinion I'm still thinking about what to do but I might just get the LSx and trans and do a swap

Yeah I've always been a chevy fan but have never been able to afford one thats why I wanted to get an LSx but i still have to figure out what I want to do

Buy the motor with the trans and leave it at that. Do you have any idea how much the conversion brackets to do the swap cost?
