You would probably spend less money and have fewer headaches if you just upgraded to an SS.

Or buy a used ATS-V.

I am sure it's possible, but probably going to need very deep pockets

Anything is possible with the application of enough money.
Buy an SS . A FAR cheaper solution. |

I'd rather go the other way -- swap an LT1 into an ATS-V sedan! It's a much more practical car!

If you like turbos get A ss and put twins on it.

Probably the wrong place to get an unbiased answer; this forum seems to be very anti-LF4 for some reason. That being said, yes, just upgrading to an SS is a much cheaper, less-painful alternative, unless you REALLY like F/I.
The great thing about the LF4 is that with just a tune, you'd be pushing around 500 whp. But yeah, your smarter alternatives are to A. Just upgrade to an SS or B. Just get an ATS-V if you really want the LF4. Last edited by AJL13; 02-22-2018 at 01:08 PM. Reason: typing is hard |

It would literally prob be cheaper to buy an SS and put a nice twin turbo kit on an LT1.

You have the 3.6L V-6 engine, so it would make no sense to buy an ATS V engine to swap when you can bolt on a twin turbo system to your 3.6L V-6 engine.

I'm shocked you're the first person to say that lol. I'm reading this thread going "he's already got a v6" just turbo it!

I opened this thread hoping to see someone had swapped an LT1 into the ATS-V!
I would own a ATS-V right now if it had the LT1 in it instead of the TT v6

Considering all the engine control modules/electronics used in our cars these days and how they all talk to each other, I think it would be a HUGE task just to get the engine to run.
