Hey everyone I was looking at these motors for sale supercharged lsa vf ls3 430fwkw what are your thoughts plan would be to put in my vb I know the sump and headers would have to change what I would like to know can you run a T56 on them instead of the 6060 , do they run the AFM like the L77 and was thinking using a link for the computer side  , what upgrades are possible for the s/c and cam cheers

was going the l98 with whipple  s/c but this could cheaper can upgrade to whipple later

no they don’t run AFM, yes you can bolt a T56 straight up

as for cam options, they’re practically as limitless as any other LS engine.

It’s based on an LS3 but with a slightly stronger bottom end, which should make it more durable than an L98. The LSA has an Eaton 1.9 L supercharger, which obviously can be overdriven or you could change it out for any other LS3-based supercharger (which probably isn’t necessary unless you’re chasing mega HP).

On a side note, the LSA supercharger sticks out a bit, you’ll likely have a problem with hood clearance. You can change the supercharger top plate over to an LS9 unit which helps a little.

Also on the cost side, the LSA becomes even more cost effective when you consider that it usually comes with a clutch as a crate motor (if you’re going manual).

The clutch that it comes with doesn’t suit t56 from memory

Lol like 6 years ago everyone saying o why not ls swap its a ten k job, lol nec minute heap of unfinished ls swaps for sale as well over ten k.

“Budgets” are more what you would call guidelines than rules

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

Hey Sands no, not on face book not a fan ,

budget wise I don’t have one im going to get what I would like and what the build cost is what it cost so if it’s 1 or 4 years building it is part of the enjoyment

but will be cheaper than the vk as I have already done things three or four times

Quite a few of us on here have experience fitting LS motors to earlier gen Commodores, from mld to relatvley wild.  I reckon there wont be too much we cant help with.  Its been done so many times now the bugs are pretty much sorted.  Would be a nice project

CTS-V Supercharger hat might have saved a lot of the bonnet work though..
