I think this has been posted before, but do you mind giving a ballpark estimate of an LS-conversion (garden variety LS, nothing crazy like an LSA) in a first gen Camaro if you know? Just curious, thanks.

I've done several of these conversions a basic conversion involves connect and cruise package. 11k for 430 hp. 2k for aftermarket accessory drive 1k for cooling system upgrade 6-800 for fuel system upgrade 400 for new driveshaft 300 for air induction that's around 15,500 in parts add another 1k for incidentals that's $16,500 roughly. Plus labor to do the switch.

Engine and Trans (GM Connect and Cruise) LS3 480HP / 4L70E trans set-up around $11K....Then you have the extra's.....A/C ....Radiator.....Etc....

Just to be clear...my post was a fun poke at Tibor...his LS conversions are incredible and everyone should build their car they want to.

As Dino said &quot;just trying to have a little fun folks&quot;

No Doubt. Amazing work for sure, I was just hoping to see this sort of beautiful artwork in a basket case instead of a mint car.
