Default LS1 power

I have seen thread after thread on started ls1 c4's but no completed ones. I have seen ls1's in a lot of cars why is it so hard for them to be put in the c4? Heck if they can put it in this http://videos.streetfire.net/recentv...6900c3f507.htm then we should be able to put one in our c4.

There have been a couple completed ones on the forum. I think one member just sold his 84 with a very stout LS1 in it.

It would be nice to see some video of one runnig. Maybe it would give me some motivation to get going on mine. It now rezides in a storage unit. I don't know maybe i'll just sell it. I just don't have the funds to fixer up.

It can and has been done successfully. It's a bit of a job and very costly to do it correctly.

For the time effort and $$, most would rather mod what they have or by a later model with the LSx engine.
