I also understand that the LS1 is longer than the LS2+, so you have more
room for the radiator in the newer motors. Plus it seemed there were some
other differences that made the swap easier.
If you can truly get the LS3 386/480 for $6650, you're looking at only
$13.85/hp (plus tranny). That crate motor vendor said "coming soon".

Ok, but at what price tag?? Ebay has like 3 offerings of the LS3 (only one
LS7)... but oodles of the others. But the prices??
$4800 - 325hp LS1 setup w/T56 ($14.76/hp)
$7000 - 400hp LS2 setup w/T56 ($17.50/hp)
$7300 - 429hp (so the ad said, not 436) LS3 engine only ($17.01/hp plus you
need the tranny)
$8400 - 405hp LS6 setup w/T56 ($20.74/hp)
$14200 - 505hp LS7 engine only ($28.11/hp plus you need wiring, ECU and
tranny)
Still seems like the LS1 plus bolt ons is a better route for the $$, but
there is something to be said for just dropping in 400+hp without screwing
around with addons. Still, it IS a Miata, so at a certain point it's moot..
an LS7 I would imagine is damn near undriveable at WOT, so why bother? You
can make a perfectly undriveable LS1 for cheap. :)

LS3 makes more power than the LS6. :-) 436 vs. 405.

What's the going rate for the LS1 setup, $4k for the entire driveline with
ECU/wiring? I think I saw an LS6 setup for $8-9k once... ouch. Makes my 302
look free. ;)

LS>1's are very expensive in the recycling world currently. They aren't
used in vehicles that had the volume of F-bodies. For less than the in
pricedifference to the LS1, you can easily exceed the newer engines power
level with simple mods.

Can you imagine using an LS3? :-)
Alas, not much of a junk-yard engine yet.

So, at the end of the day, would you recommend the Racing Concepts kit?
I took a cruise through your build blog and it looks pretty nice.
I have a friend who a) already has an LS1 powered FD, and b) has another
LS1 on the shelf waiting for for a project to materialize.
He's thinking NB. ;)
