The engine is an LS2, but at $3k its cheap, might get it as a spare.

The sump, well, if you can fit that in a Torana without moving the engine back 4" thru the firewall your doing well or have a special little torana in your possession.

Just bite the bullet and do it, you know you want to.

Oldschool looks, new school power! It would be my favourite race car once he finishes!

^ Yep fair call a carbie LSx wouldn't be a bad thing.

A 202? I thought it would be pretty obvious that I thought it should run the same kinda motor as the thing it was replicating ran, suggesting a 202 would be completely irrational, just like any flared car with a 6cyl.

The more I think about puttin an 8 into the LX, the more I don't want to.

Hope Joe Zullo doesn't stop making those heads.

Why stop at LS3, next gen LS7.........


In my experience, when Howard talks, it costs money, but what the heck.
Sounds like a plan.
Is it a racecar Rory? Then screw the LS3 and actually put a race-bred motor in!!
