    I'm eagerly awaiting the outcome. I do hope you will post up some vids (not short ones, full length screamers) when your done. A buddy of mine did this to an E36, That thing went like a raped ape!

      Damn, the shop across the street from where I work builds high HP/ci LSx motors daily (talking like 900HP all motor drag motors). Maybe once I get a better job making a little more money I will look into the LSx E30.......

        I want to see your car race the LS1 powered civic (the "civette") that someone posted a link to a long time ago.

          That thing is broken. The dude ended up in a ditch and broke all of the welds holding the Civic shell to the frame. There's a video of it somewhere.

              Garret: The project looks great. Very nice work. I am a ME major as well, and this really motivates me.

              Also, the Blue Scholars are amazing. Nice choice.

              Steve: You work at Boeing eh? How hard is it to get an internship there if you don't have a father that works there? I'll be needing to do an internship within the next two years.

                No, steve doesn't work at Boeing, he works at AIT (Advanced Integration Technology) that gets work from Boeing. They do tooling automation for the aerospace industry.

                Regarding Boeing internships I'm sure they're not that hard to get if you have good grades and some extracurriculars that are mechanical. Do you go to UW?

                        Is that a Hartge sturt bar? If so, that particular one is for the M42 cars and is quite hard to find [NLA] may bring some cash if you find the right buyer.

                        Keep us updated on this build, i want video.

                                Dyno in the future? I'd love to see some numbers and a graph...
                                I'm debating on throwing this engine in the white monster this summer or sticking with an obd1 swapped M motor..
