Why does this thread still exist?
Or more to the point, OP, have you bought the crate engine yet?

I think it's actually a good thread if for nothing else to circulate ideas of engine transplants. I saw an LS2 turbo shoehorned into a corolla KE30. Very cool. An open mind works wonders..

Stronger Block- $2500-3000 Supercharger kit $5-6000 If you were prepared to shop around/get stuff from the US a quick Windsor is possible. Will be interesting to see what the OP decides on doing. |

I honestly don't see what the issue is with putting an LSx into an AU.

As for 7k to put in an LSx or do work to a Windsor, there is no comparison. Unfortunately the LS would have more power everywhere for those dollars.

Why not just Sell the AU for a good $ & Pick-up a good condition VX or VXII SS?
Saves all the stuffing about for the same result and with the money you save gets the Cam thrown in it + Bolt-on's. |

As much as an LS1 would be cool to have in an AU, i couldnt buy a VX SS... Maybe a clubby, which im considering now.... But i think my little windsor may be getting a workout in the near future... |

If you were born after 1980, I would understand a comment like that. The old Holden Vs Ford rivalry was so strong you would cop it for using 9''diffs in Holden street cars. These days, car companies use other brands parts rather than make their own purely due to costs. I think that is the reason the rivalry doesn't run as deep with newer generations. Think bowties on commodores.

Even more so these days (that post you quoted was from 2009 fyi), I still stand by that comment. I'm as Ford as you can get, but cheap power is cheap power, something I am not familiar with when it comes to my Windsor boat anchor.
