I got my LS1 /T56 E30 conversion parts listed on ebay. The previous buyer backed out on the purchase.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Here is a link to the non-cancelled auction. Apparently they didn't like the "I'll throw in the chassis for an extra $300.00"

$4500 bucks BIN? Give me a weekend, an empty E30 chassis, an LS1 and a T56 and my crew would shoe-horn that bitch no problem for about 10% of the cost... just more time involved but at that price its worth it.

There are $3500 worth of parts and professional machine work. You couldn't even buy the pump for that. Nice try.... You might also note that it is a no reserve auction starting at $1899.

While expensive, that seems to be a reasonable price for such an extensive kit. I've always dreamed of a LS1 E30. :)

hmm.. we'll i ment fitting it in there with brackets and stuff. the engine and t56 tranny line right up for this rare but not unheard of swap. the ls6 motor is already a front sump motor and can be modified to fit (and has been modified in the 2 swaps i have read about). brakes, custom exhaust (the stock GM manifolds fit) and other stuff can be addressed for a reasonable cost.

ha... i wonder if he realizes that... the BIN goes away with the first bid if there is no reserve.

Well, just to set the record straight. The LS6 is rear sump, but the GTO is front sump so you can use a GTO pan. Bob Heacox out in Wash who has one of these on the road went this route. He did have to notch the pan to get the engine to sit back far enough to clear the radiator and to get the shifter lined up in the shifter hole. I am not sure how Wayne in the UK worked his, but I would have to assume he did the same.

I was building this car to road race, and I just wasn't comfortable with the GTO pan, much less one modified to hold less volume. Millen Motorsports had built a GTO race car and ended up spinning bearings with the front drop pan. It was at that point that I made the final decision to go dry sump. I am not saying that wet sump won't work, 99.9 of the cars on the road use it. But also remember, probably 90%+ REAL race cars use dry sump.

That's what I meant...:pimp:
