[QUOTE="dynajeep, post: 675728, member: 7027"] This is my first attempt doing a build thread so it might be a little jacked up. I am going to share Chris (croes) and my experience in swapping out the 383 sbc out of my buggy and putting in a Gen V LT4 engine. Chris is doing the majority of the work/research/brains behind this swap. I'll try my best to share everything I can about the swap, so if someone is interested in doing the swap can possibly use this as a guide. Mind you the LT is a new platform and the aftermarket support for this engine isn't quite there yet. So I decided to go the LT4 route because the horsepower and torque is 650/650 out of the box. At the price tag of $13,200 from Jegs I figured this was a decent price for this much power. I also purchased the harness which was a bit expensive at $1900 but did come with o2's, bungs, pedal, pcm... everything to get it to run. First thing croes did was pull out all of my wiring on the entire buggy. Some of it was pretty messy and with no fuses a fire was in its near future. Also since we are relocating the shifter to the dash and going digital gauges and less switches we decided to gut it.[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/1655f0b7e2c8432eff3643cdf213ab1d.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/bdea93451d2f787cb10f934defee0deb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/138c595d97800b56439f163f5fe5af37.jpg[/IMG] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
