    Any build logs for right-hand drive LS conversion?

    Has anyone done a right hand drive LS conversion and has a build log for it?

    Thanks

      Given its a v8, both sides of engine identical, so whatever left hand drive build threads there are still apply its just everything is mirror image?

        Sort of, however kits from the likes of Sikky will only fit LHD so I'm curious as to how people resolved it e.g. headers, booster relocate

            Do what I did. Use a solid front plate mount and motor mounts, steering shaft, manifolds, etc won't be an issue. :)

                Modified VT Commdore sump and custom mounts with corvette 6.0 manifolds, pipes are twin 2.25
