I have copied Troys post from his members ride thread here to give people that are thinking about doing a LS1 conversion a rough idea what the cost are
If anyone else has done a GU LS1 conversion and remembers what they have spent, feel free to post it up here
Cheers

So I had a look for the receipt and it actually only gives details on the price paid overall, where they list the work carried out there is no cost, it cost me 34 th big ones but I also had other work done, castor bushes etc. happy to put the receipt on if people wish to see the break down of the work carried out but its not broken down into costs.

34k, wow, does that include labour to install it or did you install it yourself? At that price I'm glad I went the LS.

That was all labour and transport from one side of the country to the other and back, do I love the engine, yes, would I do it again, depends on what the engineer says next week when trying to change engine number on Vicroads registration.

Ls motors get pretty good fuel too considering. We just got a 6 litre ss sportswagon city driving we are getting 14 l per 100. With the heavier patrol I'd say 16 to 20 on te city cycle. If my little zd30 goes this will be my conversion
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
