Lol, awesome response, cheers! :)

When can we see more pics of the tour car?

pics / links of that tr7 swap!

having owned a 4g63 car and now a few different LS based cars, I can say that I would drive either. back in college, my brother and I use to run our 90 eclipse awd turbo with no cat and a borla turbo muffler and it was quiet as a mouse in regular driving. You only got a hint of the sound after...

back on the chassis topic. How far will the firewall be from the front seats? I'm trying to see if it will create a fit issue for taller drivers or require a thinner seat maybe?

congrats on the purchase, I'm jealous with everyone else! would love to also see pics of your c1 w/z06 setup. btw - which transaxle is it specifically, the porsche?

where does this put you at about 70-75mph or 120-125km/h? not sure what tire size you are running, would it be around 2500rpm?

what's the 930 cost with the right gears for v8 torque?

out of all of the porsche 6spd boxes, this one seems to have the more reasonable ratio's out of the box for a v8 from gbox website. don't know if this is a 9" or not. Also, don't get the 4th/5th split at all, seems minimal. G97/88 997 GT2 2007-09 6-speed fully-synchronized transaxle...

Fran- WOW - underground racing beater! ;) on the transaxle - I saw that the Venom GT by Hennesey is using the Ricardo as well and they are going to be building 10 cars per year (plan anyway) at 600k! and up! For that kind of money, I'm assuming they've got a source on brand new Ricardo's then?

I think you guys that got the ricardo's early got the deal of the century for what comes with it. 17k for a transaxle really ups the ante...

I think all of us contemplating these builds 'suffer' when it comes down to the transaxle. I think I've read more threads on transaxle options than anything else. I think one of the threads says basically to do this right, get a ricardo t/axle. Given those are not much available and they seem...

here's some detail on the ls4 and 4t65e. at 300hp stock this thing will be no slouch in a 2200lb vehicle. Information on the LS4, DOD, and the 4T65E-HD - LS1TECH

at 2500lbs and 450hp, that's 5.5 p/w. Check this out 3.9 p/w ratio... 2013 brings the ULZ 700 3.9 project - Corvette Forum

can't wait for the official reveal and videos! the 4g63s are animals, had one many many years ago when the eclipses first came out, it's not going to be a torque monster for sure like a good v8, but depending on how light the final chassis comes in, this thing has the potential to just be sick...

I'm a little smaller than you but also built like a linebacker, 6'3" and anywhere from 230-270 depending on where I am on working out. I'd ideally like to get down to about 215. At the current size/weight, I fit perfectly well in my c6 z06. I tried to go sit in a superformance gt40, and that...

I'm a big fan of the borla xr-1 line. I think they sound the most impressive out of anything I've heard behind a LS based engine. The Corsa stuff is pretty good too.

there are a few guys that build these engines that it may be worth reaching out to who build and race these engines. Kurt Urban, Katech, LMP in texas for example and see which block / head combo they like for what you are doing. I would also try to get to Tony Mamo at AFR as he has put combos...

hope you get the full car troy, you'll get everything you need. drop the engine/trans as one out the bottom, it's the easiest way. Here's the way I do it... for the block, are you planning stock bore pistons for the ls3? I would check with scoggins dickey or pace performance and see if your...
