What do you need to setup a LS engine to Bravo1 drive?
Bellhousing same as SBC/BBC of course
|
From what I understand, there really isn't anything involved, and they should just bolt up. Check out the LSX Powered Boats group on Facebook.

I thought there was an issue with the crankshaft being a slightly different length too, or would that just pertain to an automotive transmission.

There are a few LS swap threads in this forum. All you have to do is type LS into the search box and hit enter.
The last LS thread, which is still current, talks about alot of this stuff. Link: http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...ls-engine.html Members TimMoore and Corey331 speak a lot there and they both have LS's in their boats. |
Just got down (last week) bolting a bravo onto a LS, I used a manual flywheel, and the bolts lined up perfectly to the bravo coupler, I did have to drive the dowel pins out of the flywheel as they weren't in the correct spot. You have to grind the back side of the bravo bell housing down to clear the rear main bolts, they stick pass the bellhousing flange about .125"
That and you can only use 5 bolts not 6 to bolt it in. Not a big deal. Here is mine in place. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...psm224nf5s.jpg |

Can you measure the width of the engine from outside of one exhaust manifold to the other. I'm contemplating a future project with twin LS engines where there use to be 4 cylinders and curious if the LS engines will fit without having to recut the transom to make the engine spacing bigger. |

That thing is BAD A$$ looking. I like how you made the turbo risers.

If I remember correctly its a little narrow then a SBC. |
