I have lost the funds I need to finish my car and also lost the r&d time that is required for this swap in a rhd s14. I would love to finish it but funds are low and family comes first.
I bought the motor from a good friend of mine, that also ran out of money to finish the project. I bought brand new parts to swap everything from lq to ls1.
The motor is an lq4 6.0 that came out of a Cadillac Escalde (not sure of the year) but it had 58k on the motor. I took off every truck accerserie and replace it with brand new ls1 accerseries.
The motor has an ls1 intake manifold with ls fuel rail and injectors, brand new intake manifold gaskets. Note all the following parts are brand new: ls cable throttle body bought from chevy dealership, ls1 accerserie brackets, ls water pump, ls crank pulley and bolt, ls powersteering pump with a Turn One pulley, bosh alternator, gto (oil pan, gasket, sump, wind tray, dip stick and tube), idler pulley, tensioner pulley, serp belt and valve cover gaskets.
*The motor also has new crane cams bee-hive valve springs and steel retainers.
The trans is a T56 out of a totalled camero that had about 45k on it. The trans has a new exedy stage 1 flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and also just installed a stainless steel line remote bleeder. Also comes with a hurst short shifter installed and the hurst shift knob. The trans shifts nice and goes threw every gear.
The ecu is out of that same camaro and is set up for a cable throttle body.
The engine harness is made by painless wiring I believe; Its custom made so the the engine and tranmission harness is all in one. All the the wires and connectors are individually labeled for what connector they plug into. It has its own mini fuse panel and it has wires spliced and labeled for easy and simple hookups for aftermarket gauges like: oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, etc.. I paid around 450 for the whole harness.
The starter for the motor is a mini reduced gear starter from summit racing.
The swap kit is from Daft Innovations and the driveshaft is for a non-abs S13. The kit includes: Motor mount brackets, motor mounts, subframe, trans bracket with trans mount and of course the driveshaft.
I am looking for $3,600 FIRM for everything and not interested in seperating the motor and the trans. But if I get a buyer that wants just the motor and trans, I can seperate the swap kit.
Cash only NO TRADES.
If interested pm and I could send you my phone number. The location is at a collison shop in Wilkes-barre pa. So buyer would be picking it up at that spot.

This is cheap. I spent quite a bit more on my LS swap. The 6.0Ls put out a lot of power with just minor upgrades such as a cam. Someone will surely get on this real fast.

*I also have those daft innovation headers as seen in the picture. I will include them with the swap but for extra cash. Or of the swap gets sold without the headers I will be selling those to.

I live far too but would buy the tranny with clutch and flywheel so that way all you got left is the engine let me know if you will part it for us?

That would work I have an engine and tranny already. If the price was cheap enough i would just pick up the engine too. Let us know.

Dude obviously you have it posted for too little. You could easily add a grand to the price and still have a buyer.

No, he is about dead on with the price. Maybe den less to be honest. I had less in my last 6.0l build (lq9) and had more go fast goodies. Its just knowing what your buying and where to find it.
Bump for a nice looking setup though!

Ok we'll do the math together
lq4 motor ~800 shipped
T56 tran ~800 (if your lucky but probably closer to 1200)
daft motor mounts 550
daft headers 650
daft drvshaft 350
wiring (his numbers) 450
GTO oil pan w/front sump ~250
New ls1 front assembly ~500
LS1 intake ~150
cam & springs setup ~400
Clutch and flywheel setup ~400
Total 5300
These are all low ball estimates and I'm sure I missed some things

lq4 motor ~800 shipped LQ9 less than 500 w/o accessories
T56 tran ~800 (if your lucky but probably closer to 1200)
daft motor mounts 550
daft headers 650 He said only included for extra
daft drvshaft 350
wiring (his numbers) 450
GTO oil pan w/front sump ~250 100-150 all day long
New ls1 front assembly ~500 300 MAYBE!
LS1 intake ~150 no way...ppl give them away free unless and LS6
cam & springs setup ~400
Clutch and flywheel setup ~400
Total 5300
These are all low ball estimates and I'm sure I missed some things
It all adds up to under $4k all day long for me. Plus its used no matter how you look at it. I never said his prcing was bad. It is quite fair and looks to be a nice setup IMO. Its just all these people over paying for LSx parts is getting out of hand. The markup is just getting worse because of idiots buying stuff for outrageous prices and future sellers knowing what they can get for what they have.
Once again....bump for some real power and a 90% complete swap!

You can call it over priced if you want but those are low ball estimates. I'm building an identical setup (except the cam) and this is what it costs for these parts. His price is a great price and a deal. But worth more then he's offering it for.

Well it just depends where you live and how much you know then I guess. Because Im on my second LSx swap/build and have also had other LS1 cars in my past. So I was just posting what I have paid multiple times and still have less than that in mine. All except for a trans....but im still undecided what trans I want and might go with a Gforce.

Not sure what your asking but sorry no trades cash only. Yes the swap kit is for a s14. All thats missing is small things; new spark plugs, spark, wires, intake like as in k&n, fluid, fuel filter pretty much normal thungs you would need to finish any swap. I would love to finish it but funds are low, and have no more time or a garage.
