Default Well guys I have some bad/good news

(Good or bad would depend on your point of view)

After the install of the Vette front cross member there is no way that the 2JZ is going to fit back into this chassis without some major cutting, a dry sump and an intake manifold that sits on my lap. So I would like to announce that I will likely be going to a GM powerplant instead. I have a few ideas brewing but I'll let you guys assume.




*pics are coming

Easy, you want that thing as light as possible - you're going LSx.
















Ok, how close was I? lol

That is one option. If I go that route it will surely be motivated by the fact that Gale will be making a TT system based off of it.

Which ever way I go it will surely be turbocharged.



I don't want to give anything away just yet about the other option but let's just say that Mark @ L/D will be intrigued & possibly jealous. Maybe that was to easy of a clue.

Do not go LS1 or Turbo. They are over rated Junk. They do not perform well and are unreliable. LS1's don't really make that much power and turbos will give huge turbo lag!
