i was day dreaming the other day about swapping the ls4 for a ls6, so i went on line and found that there is a company in PA that swaps the pontiac solstice engines with the ls6. Now i know what your saying in your head "the solstice is a RWD" but lets dream for sec herelet me here what you guys think.

why?
08-14-2010
you cant.
crankshaft is TOO LONG.
the LS4 BARELY fits in the GP and only because they shortened the crankshaft.

you can install the LS6 upper intake, the LSx Series motors are pretty close to being the same as is.
08-16-2010
yea the intake will need to be modded to fit though

i've been wondering what are the HP gains and what kind of tuneing need to be done.
08-18-2010
not sure about tuning but if you dont have anyother mods its worthlesss only real gains if you go cam
08-19-2010
so lets say you have a CAI you see modest gain then?
08-19-2010
a few hp thats about it and you will need a tb adapter if you do the ls6/ls1 swap. its not worth all the work and fab for the little hp gain if you dont have any serious mods
08-19-2010
Money time trial and error and a shiz load of fabrication work plus cost of trans and engine
08-20-2010
what is the cost of the motor and trans you are talking about?
08-20-2010
You'd need to convert the car to RWD or make it wider.
Both would cost 20 grand or more.
08-21-2010
that would be freakin awesome

The LS4 has the shorten crank with only one belt. Also the Starter is mounted to the trans not the motor like other LSX. Seems to me the bolt patern for the bell housing is different. you could do the LS6 intake though.

08-23-2010
just stay with the LS4 there should be another turbo kit coming out in a few weeks. they are waiting to get it dyno'd now
08-23-2010
I still say sts rear mount set up on a gxp would be sick
08-23-2010
