Can't wait to see this. Are you having SL work on this? or are you planning on doing the work/fabrication for the LSx yourself? I want to do something similar but was hoping to leverage off the work Fran was doing on the two V8 cars (and potentially spread the additional cost among other's wanting V8's).
Above is a good question. I would say it is TBD. There is factory support for this as mentioned, but don't know the particulars yet. I will keep you posted. It is my preferred direction but I am open to whats best.
I'm not proficient with setting up shipping from Europe, but there are a bunch on the euro ebay site from 400-900 euro. Not sure how cost effective that is after $conversion/shipping/refurb. Still seems cheaper then 3k.
I agree 100%. I have been watching all the online sites. For myself, it MUST be a FWD 6 speed version. I am still in the "what's cost effective" mode.
My overall goal is 550hp at the crank. This is the primary reason for the FWD 01e Tranny.
