LS1 into Chimaera will fit :) I knew it would.

[Boosted Ls1]

I said the engine would fit and have some pics of an installation that's nearly finished. It's not my work though. The thing is I can't upload them. Can I mail them to somebody else for uploading?

Boosted LS1.

Hi Dusty, where have you been? I probably can't send them via your profile. Can you forward your email address?

What about the LS6? I guess its the same size?

They are all the same size, sumps and ancilliaries can be different across the model range. ls6 isn't really that much better then ls1. You can easily tune the ls1 past stock ls6 spec (cam change) and they are less costly to buy initially. For a conversion like this it's better to start with something ls1 based and build it to suit the car (fitment wise) and performance wise. Use the stock t5 for as long as it lasts and if need buy fit an uprated t5, oh and brakes

Its all dreams for me anyway. But one day, when/if it goes pop.

(I was just forced to buy an alternator for more money than some engines. Bastard french tourist-in-a-shiny-sports-car tax).

Anyone else notice the carbon cover for the brake reservoir & electrics, what a smart idea. Joolz was asking for suggestions for carbon bits!

Will it fit into Griffs too? I thought the owners were too busy spending 10 000 squid to gain 10 hp!

Looking at the pics I would say yes, even easier.

It'll be good to see what the exhaust arrangements are too .

Have a look at the pictures harry. It connects to original exhaust. Infact length ways it looks shorter than the Rover.

Must be blind I can see the original Y piece sitting there, but can't see where the headers connect .

The headers will connect to the Y no probs.

Very nice installation.

Is that an airbox you've built yourself on the nearside wing, BTW?
