My true cost for the LS1 swap:

This is how much it cost for me to do the swap on top of any other investments in the car. I have both the swap cost and the net cost for the swap due to the profit from selling my old drivetrain. Some items are in a grey area so I will only include cost associated with getting the car driving. For example brake upgrades will not be included as they are not required for the swap. However, I am including all drivetrain related items in the Parts Sold list even though many will not have a turbo kit or oil cooler or such. I also sold things like my stock seats, rear spoiler, etc but those are not listed.

Do note that each swap is going to be different so always plan on spending more. For example I do not have to abide by any emission regulations or inspections so those items are deleted. Also, I do not have power steering or AC. I plan on installing AC eventually though and will update the site when/if I do.

Please see the specific pages on my site for details on any of these parts and links to where to find them.

*For the IAT and Passenger O2 sensor, my engine did not come with them as they are not standard items on "complete drop-in" engines (atleast from Cleveland PAP). This means that if you buy a "drop-in" engine you will most likely have to buy these items. The driver side O2 is in the header so it is normally included (as it was for me) but the passenger side one is not.
