Ok.. I can only keep this under wraps for so long... but I might as well let the cat out of the bag... Mast Motorsport 416 LS3 with a RPM Transmission Stage 5 Road race T56... Tonight we put in the 4.10 gears!

We did this LS conversion in 2 weeks... My crew was busting ass to get it done! We just felt that we would not have gotten the Ford motor rebuilt in time..

Now that is excellent. Love the bastardizing.

You got time for any road course shakedown down there?

Here are some pics of the set up stage... It is a good thing I have set up motors with T56 transmissions...

Special thanks to Chris Durate @ Mast Motorsports for getting me a engine & Jeremy @ RPM Transmission for getting key parts out ASAP..

Carl @ Vaporworks was a key player to the conversion.. He got the Ford fuel system to work for us! & Ken Whitney my wiring guy!

In other words, it would have been no match for the LSx engine.

Thanks for the props guys! It was a pretty simple swap for us.. Fabricate engine & trans mounts... The union of the clutch master cylinder & power steering was easy.. We have plenty of custom fitting to make unions..

The shifter was a challenge & so was running lines to my oil cooler.. but we only designed & machined one piece... Mast makes a great oil pan... I have about three in stock... but they did not give enough room for fittings to headers.. When you work with -10 or -12 fittings .. you run out of room... So we designed this remote oil filter adapter.. It takes it to a Earl's remote oil filter adapter with thermostat.. then to the cooler.. & then returns oil back to the engine..
