    LS1 swap into a 240sx

    Yep thats my plan as of right now. I just have questions about the ls1, like can I put ls2 internals in an ls1? and is the t56 the ideal transmission?

    Some of the internals will swap, some won't. You'll have to let us know which ones. The t56 is the best OEM manual you could use.

    The LS2 crank will have to be rebalanced for the LS1. Yes, you can put the internals in the LS1 minus the pistons. The LS2 cam will require an LS2 front cover for the cam sensor pickup. You'll also need the LS2 cam gear if using the LS2 cam.

    Not at all, depending on what kind of powering your wanting to make just port the 241's and put a nice cam in it, stock internals will hold more than enough power for such a light car. I just picked up a ls1 yesterday to put into a fc rx7 there fun swaps and can go high 10's with just 450hp or something like that
