Harry,
Only one fuel filler cap? That'll take ages! Why not have two side by side, then you can use two pumps to save a few minutes :-)

Simply take a known recipe which has been tried in countless American kitchens, add a true petrolhead with the right budget to do the job properly; sprinkle in a liberal amount of the automotive tuners' finest parts, neaded in by a few experienced and seasoned professionals, and bake in a large Australian fish at gas mark 1000. Remove the engine from the oven dyno when some of the ingredients are cherry-red. Then wait till the rubber starts to boil and serve up on a long road on a bed of molten rubber

I wondered why Roger wanted me to photoshop that!
Good one. I knew it was real though as the photo has Roger's trademark blurriness

What on earth do you do as a job, just seen a thread about another potential purchase of yours, I want your job
You shouldn't be hanging around those Lamborghini forums, bad for your wealth 
Week 21......
Engine in with plenum
The complete front look (yes, the plenum not only looks high, but is too high)
Replacement half shafts
Roger taking good care of the rest of the exhaust system (silencers to be determined)
Boost controller by HKS (slimline)
The finished boot
Fuel system (in one photo)
Where we are today, bits going back in the bay and lots of heat shielding. Roger promised to start it up this week

Awesome thread - awesome car.
Especially like the finished boot - but have to ask - where are all the subwoofers?
Good point. However, the original spec required that space be left to carry the groceries....Especially like the finished boot - but have to ask - where are all the subwoofers?

What width out of interest are you going to fit on the rear then to control this monster, Ive just squeezed 10"x20's onto mine but Ive not got the Coupe 4 arches so I rolled mine out a fraction.
not sure, thinking about mini tubbing it - I guy in Oz did this and it looks good.tim the pool man said:

btw, that killjoy Roger, tells me he wont be starting it this week
Week 23
A good day today.....
Over the last two weeks all the bits and pieces made it back into the car. Roger decided to start the engine with the stock plenum on to limit the number of factors in case it woudln't start. Of course a stock plenum wont fit LS7 heads
. So to continue this approach required an LS7 plenum and do you think there are many in the UK? Roger was able to source one off a contacts car (many thanks) and with a few minor fixes it made it on (minus idle control valve and inlet temp sensor).
Exhaust system below (cats only and no silencers for the moment)
Small hiccup with the LS7 manifold as it runs one fuel line and not two, so the fuel setup on the car wasn't going to work without further modification. A temporary fuel supply was setup (cue fuel pump from busted Porsche, jerry can, battery and hose), and voila..
turn up the volume!

Man, its sounds sooo tough
. Who needs silencers!
Next job is to fit the modified plenum, tidy a few things up and adjust the bonnet.
