Yup, I've always thought abought this since the late 90's.

 

Sorry for the late response. I honestly don't know. I had it professionally done. Great install, very clean. Looks factory and haven't had a single issue in the 13 track days I've done so far. Scared to look back and see what I spent...

 

I've thought about this myself but will ultimately stick with the M96 unless it blows up. Then would have to really debate LS vs M96 rebuild, take out engine or Raby motor.

I do get a kick out of the guys that say the LS swap is a step back in engineering because the M96 motor is such an engineering marvel!

 

29 modes of known failure on the M96

How many on the LS?

 

Didn't keep my 2006 GTO with its LS 6.0l 400HP engine long enough to find out. Got rid of the car when I couldn't find a place that would service the thing without the tech or lot rat (valet) taking the car out and beating the heck out of it.

I recall some time ago when shopping Corvettes current owners raising Cain over all the issues with the LS engine then.

 

Can these even be found for cheap anymore? It's a sick drifter, supposedly. And I think pretty rare these days, no?
