Dang. Wish I could get phase 2 and 3. Crazy conversion though. If I get one within the year, I'll prob romp on the engine pretty hard and get an atlas or an old school 250 inline 6 and make a very back to basic vehicross. LS1 get about 12-14 mpg on the usual, whereas those inline sixes can up 20 mpg. I don't need that horsepower anyway, and some inlines, can produce equal amounts of small block torque.

Forget the LS1/6, get the LS7 with 500/500+ hp/tq and 28 mpg!!! Slightly spendy though. Coachreed only had wiring still to do I believe.......

haha, the godly LS7. IDK about that 28 mpg, but I know it's dang near perfect in terms of HP and MPG. Definitely have to pay for it though. Last I checked, dropping one in my nova would have been over 10 grand, not even including the wiring and transmission you'd have to pair it with.
There's a reason Corvettes cost so much,
and it's not their fiber glass bodies.

I had heard the 28 mpg was not just factory hype and that quite a few owners are quoting 28 or better depending on how it's driven. I look at the spendy engine price a little differently though. I consider I got my VX for $7000. Now I throw in a $15,000 engine/trans/conversion costs and I'm only paying $22,000 for a vehicle that would dominate anything else out there(within reason). The VX already rules, but with 2X hp and torque=:_drool:
So for me that's still a cheap SUV that is unparalleled and cheaper than they were new to boot

Well I'm not calling you a liar or anything, but if that was so Corvette would be "fuel efficient". And I know it's not.
Maybe an LS7 in a hyundai is getting 28 mpg? Is this a recent LS7 your quoting? If it's a 2006-07 model IDK much about that edition.

Well I'm certainly not a liar, so if you need any more of these let me know, I don't post things without being able to back it up.
