So where are you going to get these crates and stand alones? what kind of stand alone? There is no way you are getting a brand new lnf for near 2 grand with a stand alone unless it's stolen. Now if it was plucked out with low mileage that's a different story, but new i'm not buying it. Of course I could be proven wrong.

 

I'd drop the LNF into a 240.. S15 front clip on an S13 hatch body with the Solstice GXP's 5 speed.

 

if i had a project car that needed an engine, i sure as hell wouldn't drop in one of these

 

you confuse me. you linked to the $3.5k crate LNF. The standalone would bring it to over the suggested $4k, but you make it sound like its going to be $8k or something.

 

with your usual stand alone you are going to get to ~4500-5k with the crate I showed. Then you have to talk about shipping. I just don't see it happening for under 4k unless the crate engine itself is like 2k. Like I said I could be proven wrong, but I haven't seen anything yet. That is just an EXTREMELY low price.

 

Usually when someone posts something like this they know something that you don't so i'd stop the whole its gonna cost blah...

 

And when they give a 2k range it means they were told this by someone else or it's a rumor...so i'll wait until I see info.

 

agreed.
and cake, im not saying you can get it all for $4k. I agree with you that it will be more, but im just saying it wont be a whole lot more. $5-$5.5k is my guess. To me it just sounds like your building it up to be an $8k package. thats all

 

Correct me if I'm but the LSJ and LNF crate motors don't come with the supercharger or turbo right?

 

correct. At least thats true with the LSJ. Not positive about the LNF, as the site says "does not include supercharger", though i think its a safe bet they meant to say turbo. Course it shouldnt be too hard to find a stock K04 on here. There are a few who have already done turbo swaps, and as soon as the fuel issue is resolved, i know there will be a LOT of turbo swapped LNFs

 

this engine would be good in a toyota mr spyder..

ecotec FTW

 

Hmmm I wonder why GM don't offer the Ecotec engines with a standalone EMS. I bet if they did they would sell quite a few.

 

71 Chevy vega or a 74 cosworth vega would be cool
there is someone I have seen on the net putting one in s tube frame chevette
sweet if you ask me
