Soon i am going to be starting my journey on LS swapping my 81 cutlass. Always wanted a 800-1000hp street car so i decided that a turbo LS is going to tickle my fancy. I wanted to start this thread to share my journey on the proccess and my trials, tribulations and successes. Thru out the spring summer and fall, i will be researching and aquiring parts for my build. As i progress i will be updating with pictures and steps i took as well as getting into some of the technical stuff! Currently in the car is a 383 stroker making 522/515 at the crank with a th400. Im going to be doing the supporting upgrades as well as installing the LS engine and run it a while on my current turbo 400. I may change to a different transmission set up, i may keep the th400. Good or bad anyone is free to comment as i progress!
