Re: GM is out to help us cool...
It's about time they did something to help simplify the process of putting current technology in old vehicles. The market is there and they evidently finally realized it.

Re: GM is out to help us cool...
Oh I have no doubt it will cost a small fortune, but it's a step in the right direction. So long as they keep going in that direction.

Re: GM is out to help us cool...

Re: GM is out to help us cool...
Well I wish this would have been an option back when the government decided we needed to pay $4500 for everybodies trade in on a foreign car. just so we could smash them. could have been a credit towards a cleaner burning drivetrain for your classic american vehicle.
Well that would have not made any sense anyway. with all the jobs it would have created with the swaps and all. that would be putting ourselves before our competition. |

Re: GM is out to help us cool...
How about a 5.3L with a T56 for $4500 with wiring & computer? I would save my pennies for that combo. Can't even pretend to get excited over this deal.
The lowest cost engine & combo set is the 430 HP LS3 Connect and Cruise kit priced at $9,989, and the supercharged 556 HP LSA package priced at $19,569. Content for each kit includes: Brand-new, fully assembled crate engine (LS3 or LSA) Brand-new transmission (4L65-E or 4L85-E) SuperMatic transmission control module Calibrated engine control module Two oxygen sensors and mounting bosses (for installation in the exhaust system) Mass airflow meter and mounting boss (for installation in the air intake system) Throttle pedal assembly (for use with the electronically operated throttle) Complete wiring harness with fuse box Instruction sheet. The engine and transmission are delivered separately. The transmission must be attached to the engine by the installer. The engine and SuperMatic transmission controllers in the Crate Powertrain Systems are designed for true stand-alone performance in older vehicles. All that’s needed to get a vehicle running with the engine controller are power and ground sources, a high-pressure fuel pump and an electric cooling fan. The SuperMatic transmission controller is the most fully integrated and user-friendly transmission control system on the market. Only a few connections are required to get the transmission ready for operation in your vehicle – and it is designed for tuning-free compatibility for the Crate Powertrain Systems’ engine control module. Installing an electronically controlled automatic transmission in an older vehicle with a mechanical speedometer requires an aftermarket signal converter. |
