I'm sure someone has, but I know the general conception is for the amount of money it costs to do the swap, its more cost-effective to mod the motor you have or buy something with more power in the first place, that is a direct replacement.

i know of c3 guys doing it
but as far as c4s
if u want more power stroker! and stg 2 or 3 heads!!!!
along with oter basic mods you can get 400-600 hp!!!
ls6 is just a more expensive ls1 and doesnt respond as well to mods!!!!!
itll be another 15k once you find a nice ls6 with low miles and have it installed or hook it up. along with numerous obsticales!
i mean is it work the 40 hp over a lt1
i mean an lt4 is faster than an ls1
i dont know what kind you have l98 or lt1 or lt4
but if you stroke it and get stg 3 heads or even stg 2
no c5 will keep up with u!!!

Do you mean the LS motors dont respond well to Mods? Because I would realy have to dis agree with that one, there are bolt on only F-bodys in my club running 11.8s with no internal motor work not even rocker arms just exhaust, intake and a converter and if you get a head and cam package for the LS motors forget about it. I am building a prety stout stroker LT1/4 (AFR 195 LT4 Heads and LT4 intake) and am well aware that a LS1 with a good cam and a decent set of heads would roll with me no problems.

LT-1 is what you have. The LT-4 was only offered in 1996 and was mated with the 6-speed only.

Well now, that's embarassing. I just looked to see if it was a 96 and stopped thinking. That seemed to happen a lot yesteday.
