I have a 96 2 Door 2wd Tahoe that I want to put an LSX Or LQ motor in with a 4l80e.
What would be your advice on a truck or car and year to pull the motor and transmission from for this swap?
I want to put bolt ons and a cam and thats about it for the build, the more power the better (No LS7 though)

What do you want out of your DD? Gas mileage, reliability, go fast, towing?
2006 Superior Blue Trailblazer SS AWD, Stock as a rock
Sold: 2002 GMC Sportside Denali front end with a 2002 LS1, FLT level 5, Yank 2600, Trick Turbo, T76, Nelson intercooler, 60LB injectors, Warbro fuel pump, Eaton locker, Magnaflow, 3.42, Nelson Performance Tuning (speed density).
Sold: 1981 GMC LB RC 1500 2002 4.8L 4L60E 12 bolt 3.73 Richmond Lock Right AC PS Nelson Performance tuning
Reliability and Speed are top on my list
Towing will be very seldom, and im not concerned with mpg
Wow, one of the few not concerned with mpg. Reliability is equal among all powerplants in the Ls engine family.
The only variable left is budget. Simply put, generally, more money will buy you more power.
how much speed??? heres what you need, 3:73 gears, 4l80e transmission, 3000 stall converter, 6.0 L, 243 heads, 87mm truck intake, fast drive by cable throttle body, 22x/22x cam, longtube headers, nelson tune, electric fans, and thats what you need, just start savingOriginally Posted by navi243

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
LSA or LS9 with A6 FTMFW!!!

waiting to go in... 3.90s, 214/220cam
The most I would be willing to spend on all parts for the swap would be 12k
If I had a truck that turned 12s on street tires and suspension that I could take a road trip in I would be extremely happy
i vote for a 6.0L and some boost.
1982 c10 lsx swaped, NP tuned, true duals, 4:11s, trutrac, e-fans, CAI
12s in a daily driver with 12k to spend you could do it with 3k ,12k youre looking at 10s maybe 9s
