Just thought I'd spam this up here for anyone who

a.) is interested

and

b.) hasn't seen it already

Certainly still a work in progress but good fun nonetheless.

Sorry, I linked a shit thread, I forgot how much useless drivel occurred in that one. The conversion didn't start til pg16 of that thread.

I have changed the link in the OP to a better one that actually starts on pg1.

Pretty good thread. I've seen it before and read the whole thing. I'm trying to figure out how to put a PWR radiator in my LS1 VN at the moment. Looks like might have to pull the grinder out for a play. Mine is just a skid car though, nothing real flash.

Nice one!! Rather than a shiny radiator (or perhaps as well as?), I want my end result at this stage to be a well fitted OTR intake. I think this will at least mean taking the VL V8 rad that's currently in it down a few rows for the required bonnet clearance. It's not the top of my priority list though. Fix diff, finish wiring, fit coilovers, cam/heads are all first.

Probably already mentioned, but have you run the quarter in it yet? Dyno? Interested to see some numbers.

Quarter: 13.21something, hoping to dip into 12s with new clutch, tyres and 3.9s - with the 3.08s I only get to the top of 3rd and that's the quarter done :P

Dyno: 326rwhp. Should be fairly accurate, was done at WAPerf who are not renowned for having a happy dyno or anything like that, and the only mod since then is an underdrive balancer. I'm sure there's more in it with a proper tune (currently mail order MAFless) but that can wait til heads and cam are done.

Nice one. Keep us updated. Should go a lot better even with just a cam and good tune.

Mine is done and running (well before I snapped an axle and tore all the wiring out), but you may have some luck selling it over on SC or JC forums.
