this aint no SR20 swap yo!

Priced out a swap on a LS2 a while back and it was going to run in the 12,000 range. And thats with me doing all the installs/fab work.

My LS1 swap cost about $10,000-$12,000 with me doing all the fab work and isntallation. But that is also with all new parts such as a built TCI TH400 and a Electromotive full standalone engine managament and ignition system.

saw this car over at A-1 racing a few time before and after the swap.. i must say your car is just flat out perfect. Since your fire wall is no longer the stock one, were will you be running the car first? You gunna run D1gp at englishtown?

It'll just sit there and spin the rears, IMO pointless unless your drifting I guess. Sure its cool to say I have the only and it was a wild project. But if you really have that much money I'll give you my paypal account for donations.
what is the point in making a statement like this, as if you have first hand knowledge ?

there is no such thing as a 'bulletproof motor'

And more power gets you what exactly? Bragging rights on a forum? With the relatively simple internal configuration this particular engine has, I'd be willing to bet that it will last far, far longer than the avg. built TT equipped VQ does. Not to mention, overlay the dyno charts of a modest LS such as this, and a TT VQ that would put down similar #'s. I know which one I'd rather have (and as a general rule, I'm not a fan of engine swaps as I like keeping it the family..but the LS is a pretty incredible piece of equipment)

Before anyone asks "Does the front strut brace still fit?"...

Obviously it does:

+1, if someone offered me a free ls7 swap, i'd gladly rip out my built VQ TT and have it done.
