For the record the le5 head is more than capable to flowing the same as a lsj. I have both heads sitting in my garage and the ports looks the same on both heads.
I figured it would be sick to have vvt on a lsj.
Im down to run both of u i got a 1970 camaro RS. Lol
It will run 8.50 sec all day long...lol.

Just throwing it out there. Anything is possible. You just need to take some time and be really good with electrical and wiring. It really wouldn't be to expensive. I can't speak about tranny mating cause I'm not sure. Everyone will tell you that you need the harnessess for the whole car which is true if you just want a plug and play. If not be prepped to rewire an entire ECM. From experience it's not what I'd call fun. Any of our engines can make a lot of power you just need some money and a lot of patience. I'm sure I'd easily break over 300 if I slapped cams in mine. Then again idk where I sit now. I know I pull on tuned tc's right now. And not to knock the lsj I think it's a great engine. But with the le5 and l61 you have 2 advantages more displacement and higher compression. Having 10 to 1 I have all my power still downlow

The LE5 is inferior to the LSJ. Wouldn't that be defeating the purpose? Dudes have spent shitloads building up and modding their LSJ SC cars only to fall well short of the 400whp mark while dudes in Honda civics strap on blowers and pass that on pump gas without even touching their internals. For any serious power you're gonna need a turbo and a block that can take it. The LE5 block is weak.
My buddy is doing the opposite. He's using a LSJ block in a LE5 Sky but keeping the LE5 head and going turbo. I'm not sure why he's doing the whole LSJ/LE5 hybrid thing since the LSJ head has more potential. I'd be willing to bet that when everything is said and done, he put's the LSJ head back on and makes more power.
