ls engine

[Pim]

Hi I would like to find the best and least expensive source for an ls series engine without buying a kit just for the engine.

Thanks a lot for your patience with all my questions.

Okay, what is a "Is series engine"?

Ls1,2,3,7,9,x all the motors in modern corvettes and chevys

I guess finding a cheap 4th gen Camaro or C5 Corvette would be cheapest?

There are some resin kits around as wel.

Check http://vcgresin.atspace.com/main.html

Good luck!

matthijsgrit is right. The Revell C5 kits can be had really cheap on ebay. The engine is molded in one unit with the driveline, but it's simple work to cut it free with a razor saw.

The red engine and driveline are Revell C5 LS1. I've cut the LS off to mate a 4.6 Ford modular engine to the Corvette torque-tube and auto gearbox.

Oh, an "LS" Chevy motor. That I understand. "Is" I didn't.
