Here is a post from our local club board on yesterday's progress on the LS1 install. I told Randy (the mastermind doing all the work) that the biggest mistake we made was not having the Discovery Channel come out and film the fabrication process.
'It's a tight fit, but it does fit, even with proper equal length stepped tube headers. Finished the motor mounts today, the drivetrain is officially located. Now the fun part of plumbing, wiring, finishing out the exhaust etc... Looks like we'll be retaining the ABS motor, just moving it to the other side of the bay and fabricating new brake lines and extending the wiring harness. Topped off the day with an icy cold PBR.' |  |  | | 03-23-2006, 05:58 PM | #2 | | doesn't care about you. Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 3,925 |

It also sits further back and lower for even better weight distribution. | | | | | 03-23-2006, 07:27 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 |
What kind of rear end are you using? I'm assuming you're keeping the IRS, but are you using an E30 or MZ3 diff, or something different? | | | | | 03-23-2006, 07:32 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Southern California Posts: 420 |
