Hey guys I'm just wondering if any of you have or know of a write up to swap a 97 0r newer LS1 into an S13. Thanx for your time guys and I appreciate any help I can get from you.

nismologistwrite ups... noI would use Mckinney but I've got a bunch of friends who have used their mount kits for RB20's in S13's and everyone who's done it wishes they had just opted for R32 cross member swap instead.

Ha haha haaa, yeah don't you think I've done that? see in my opinion that is what forums are for helping you find info that is either scarce or ridiculously hard to find with a Google search, dick. so if your gonna leave a link at least make it a link to something that would have usable information, I'm looking for a right up to help me figure out wiring issues, clearance, is power steering and A/C an option, and all the other unforeseen shit that comes up with doing a motor swap you've never done before ass.

LOL. I can't really blame timeslips response though. As for the 350 swap I dunno how helpful the cs12 forums will be since hardly anyone does it.

good start? I've a member of this forum for over 2 years I'm just hardly ever posting anything.
LeegamerDick? This is an S12 forum and you're asking an S13-specific question. Learn to internet.Well I'm posting it here, because well simply this is one of the best forums to go to for "Nissan" related automotive information on the web. and because like me lots of the people on Club-s12.org own and or have worked on the S13 chassis as well as a Chevy with small block.

Don't bother with mount kits, and as for the suggestion to use a skyline crossmember it may set up the mount location in a better spot but this cannot be known until the motor is in the engine bay and you can see it's orientation.
Hang out at a welding shop and make friends.

PS - the difficult part will NOT be the mounts, it will be the electrical.. You are trying to take a fairly new engine and mesh it into a chassis that it doesnt belong, if you are going with an OBD2 LS engine you sir need to get FSMs for the donor car and the s12 and do alot of work because there is a good chance you will end up swapping over an entire chassis harness as well as engine harness to 'save time'.

hybrid and conversions section.
if you need any specific pics, let me know. its a s14 w/ ls2, but same basic principles.
oh, and it uses r32 crossmember, lined up perfectly.
using hinson headers and driveshaft

Just to add some info.. 350ci = lt1.. 346ci = ls1.. Its a common misconception..
