Nah.
Turbo 6 contingency is decided in my mind if other options don't work out.

I think you should just leave it with Al and see what he comes up with.Comment

Maybe a 2jz perhaps?Comment

M117 fits. I have hunted down all the info to fit one...."Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."Comment

So there's a decent stumbling block in the LS1 idea. A dude in the states doing it at the moment tells me that reason he has to convert to a steering rack is because the block hits the steering box. And there is not enough room to move it forward or back enough to alleviate that problem. An LS1 is very narrow acreoss the heads, but very thick through the block. So that is a pretty significant problem, yeah? Converting to a steering rack has the potential to create 50 more problems than it resolves as well. So Al and I are just tossing some ideas around at the moment is all
But your steering box is on the other side, so is this still relevant?Comment

That is the likely fallback option.Originally posted by BMWTurbo View Post
Yeah, nah. Expensive to buy. Expensive to build. Not very powerful. No one does a manual conversion adapter. No go fast bits. (i just described a Toyota V12, didn't I! Except they're cheap to buy.)Originally posted by Gammaboy View Post
Still yes from what I've seen.Originally posted by uuheels View PostComment

Marty had that 560sel for peanuts... Cheaper to buy whole car!
I bet old mate had issues with something else if a 117 can fit easily"Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said.

Other issue is that my car is a 1990. The 5.6 never came that late.Originally posted by Gammaboy View PostComment

Not a problem, just needs to be an unleaded one..."Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said.

Al, stop torturing the man. LS1 is a no-brainer.
If it falls through, 2JZGTE is the other no-brainer.Originally posted by 350statoComment

LS1 isn't a no-brainer, just because the internet says it is the smallest engine in the world and fits in any car doesn't mean it's true. Mercedes steering box is the devils work and only a 60degree engine beamed down from heaven can combat it.
2JZ's are the old hotness.David Fraser - Automotive Historian!
