[drifty340i]

If someone wants to blow these up?

[drifty340i]

Also note the right hand side extractors designed to clear the steering rack ;)

[drifty340i]

Heres some more picks of the exhausts and engine mounts etc. Note most of the picks are of the exhausts not finished, and the engine mounts arent finished.

a ls1/t56 goes for about 4500-5000 aus here.

Interesting, I figured you guys were swimming in them with all of the holdens around. Either way, it'll be a fun car.:)

Only in the 2000's did holdens here get the LSx motors, and then we gotta wait till they get crashed and wrecked for them to come up. Remember we're a country of 4 million people, when an LSx motor comes up for sale, its usually around 10KNZD for it.

LS1 engines here are much more expensive than the 1uzfe, and no where near as cheap and easy to mod here. There is so much info on the the 1uzfe here and so easy to get. Im sure 335hp and lighter than an m20 will be fine lol.

How much does that lexus V8 engine weigh? Say compared to an M30 or something similar.

About 145/170kgs depending on the year

Hope it all goes well for you, but an LS1 would've been a much better choice. Smaller, lighter, more powerful, less/cheaper maintenance, easier/cheaper to mod, etc...
