Cheap can't be used in the same sentence as a LS4 swap into a 97-03 W Body.

If money isn't an option you could put a v16 in there lol but actually i'm not joking. Anything can be done with enough $$$
10-05-2009
its a waste of money. the aftermarket isnt there and you can make just as much power with the l67/l32.
10-05-2009
Sure you can do it. It will require some modification for engine mounts and I'm sure some other things. Also to let you know that there is not much support for the LS4.

L67/l32 > ls4....

I just like the sound of then v8 but down the road I would throw a turbo n be done with it im not lookin to race it, jus to have it.
10-06-2009
agreed
10-06-2009
or you can slap a turbo on the L67
10-06-2009
if I wanted to stick wit the L67 I would have just kept my gtp
10-06-2009
jeeze guys he wants an ls4 not an l67...i say do it, its unique and shouldnt be too hard. Sounds like a cool project.

I was also wondering if a LS1 would mount up with a LS4 trans?, cuz if so I would try that set up if it would work
10-07-2009
LS4 swap shouldn't be that hard on a 97-03.... You could probably used off the shelf parts such as mounts and CV joints to make it work. Bolting it in is the easy part, hard part would be the wiring itself. I think to do an L67 swap in a Pre-Gen there is a 100 wires you need to splice from the firewall to the engine harness.
If you're gonna do it, get a complete drop out from a GXP, subframe, motor tranny, CV joints, complete harness, etc etc.

thanks for the info. I found a 97 gt in great shape with no motor/trans for $800 so thats were I got the idea for the gxp swap
10-11-2009
that to me seems like a total waste of money. i got a running 99 gtp w/ perfect interior, engine and body; just slips when shfts for..... wait for it...... $650

LS1 motors are rear wheel drive and LS4's are front wheel drive so I doubt it.
10-11-2009
The LS1 would have to be extensively modified to make it work. Look at the info in this article where GM put an LS1 into an Impala. Some of the modifications to the LS1 are mentioned.
LS-1 Powered Impala SS - Feature - GM High-Tech Performance

So you got a GTP with a craptastic transmission for $650? You want a cookie?
10-12-2009
Its been done already.
It was done before the gxp was released by at least 1 if not 2 members I recall (clubgp.com). Their was also a guy that ran a northstar v8 setup as well with the 4t65e. Then their was a guy that ran a northstar v8 with a manual trans
