Mike (Boosted LS1) on here does custom LS1/6/7 engines

www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?h=0&memberId=18409

Can click through to his main site for more info.

For technical I was advised to look at www.LS1tech.com

The engines are very similar in weight to the Rover V8, maybe a tiny bit heavier.

i've got one in my hsv - but with a supercharger fitted :-)

suggest www.ls1gto.com/forums/ as a good place to look for info (states based but plenty of hsv/monaro uk owners on there

great choice of engine by the way
