Does that mean you have a LS2 lump spare?

Doh, why I put 05 I dont know, its 04, and the spare is an LS1 - I'll keep it as a spare

As a spare what, starter motor?

Dont forget the propshaft, diff, and halfshafts etc.....

[ringram]

You probably know harrop do 9" and 12 bolt setups for the holden. Plus US BMR do forged half shafts etc. There is a good writeup on ls1gto.com from a sponsor setting up their demo car with loads of beefy stuff and all the issues etc. Check out the suspension threads if interested.

indeed, wouldn't want a halfshaft snapping and hitting that fuel setup.

Yep, Roger's looking into the various upgrades

[mackie1]

What's the likely output once it's all built? It's got to be getting close to 1000bhp? Will it be detuned for street driving?

I'm expecting it to be a large number, but dont have a fixed target in mind. The challenge is/was to come up with something useable on the street.

[crisisjez]

You`ll deffo need a rollcage if you mean to put it down the strip more than once.

V.V. nice.

[Harryoz]

For those of you that like pictures of engine bits

Harryoz, just a few questions, do they torque it all up with plastigage and then change the shells if required and is it normal to use cooperease on the case bolts. Only asking btw. Built quite a few V-Twin bike engines and the main case bolts would be dipped in engine oil before assembly. Engine would be temporarily built with small shells to size up the actual shells required.?
