not a street car then I guess?

Interesting bit of that photo is it looks like you routed the heater hoses up through the hole where the AC hoses usually pass through? Never thought of that. Still running the stock core? where did you get the intake boot from too? looks really neat and stock standard like that. What radiator did you end up running?

yep. new heater lines to vintage air core. firewall was rebuilt, no room for stock unit.

gto intake boot, upside down. radiator was a summit or speedway all aluminum.


cheers, jason

ETA for completion of the kit should be like a week or so I figure (I'll get more info on that soon). The headers didn't fit right with my LS2 as it did with the LS7 they tested on. Otherwise, I believe the kit is about ready to rock.

Damn and my buddy just ordered Garret's kit which will be welded up in a week. What's the final price on these kits?

[shiboujin]

I wish I could give you full numbers. All I can tell you is that it will be 240 swap prices

Ironically, I just got off the phone with them. The header on the driver's side hits the stock E30 steering rack. Their other donor car already had an E36 rack. Looks like the kit will require an E36 rack. Anyone see any issues with that?

Not really a full swap kit if you need a e36 rack.

[shiboujin]

Eh. Not really a big deal.

...

when can I add to cart?

[shiboujin]

If you honestly have cash for it and want the kit meow. pm me. I'll pass you along.

[KatFish]

when can I add to cart?

is the kit LSX? or just for LS1?

[shiboujin]

can be any LS based motor as their mounting points are the same. The drive shaft will work with a T56. Not sure about other transmissions.

OP - mounts look amazing!

Not really a full swap kit if you need a e36 rack.

lol! GTFO

If you are doing a swap such as this, a steering rack swap to an OFF THE SHELF rack should not be a concern at all. Especially a very popular and typical swap at that.

[shiboujin]

;) I'm pretty excited. Having to source an E36 rack was kind of annoying to have to do. But the rack cost me $60 and I already had the mount kit ($20). Since the kit converts the steering knuckle anyway, you just need the spacers to fill the space in the subframe. I'm convincing sikky to also make tie rod spacers and steering rack spacers.

can you buy individual pieces?
