Hi guys, used to be on here a lot more but haven't been on for ages and had to re sign up to PH. Wondered if in the last couple of years anyone has taken on putting an LS9 into an R8? I have looked into this and can see that I would need to fabricate and locate an oil tank and possibly a different coolant tank. From what I can see the wiring would be plug and play, a map would be needed I know but apart from these couple of things I cant see any reason she wouldn't fit, any thoughts or ideas welcome. Cheers
