So whos gonna be the lucky new owner?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...

So Neals selling this engine to make way for a bigger US cheating engine with ridiculous power.
Got to say its awesome and will probably be a bargain easy way to well over 400 bhp and monster torque for someone.
Maybe they will be able to tame it better and run better 1/4's than neal did laugh
It was capable of running low 11's all day long but Neals grabby clutch and 'normal' tyres let him down somewhat IMHO.

On the road it is 'kin' quick and just takes off for the horizon. Also, it is one of the quietest engines mechanically I've heard. I would've kept it myself but he's a greedy boy.

Like your thinking, but after spending the last 6 months trying to get the power down onto the road in my standard LS3 on 888's the thought of adding twin turbo's is mental yikes
Should be mad in a straight line and defo a tyre shredder!!
A cam and some fancy mapping is about as much as i think my little Griff can take as the torque is already trying to twist the strengthened chassis.
Good luck with the conversion, the sheer grunt of the standard 6.2 is very addictive and well worth the £££££
Please post pictures

There is a future plan of 335 tyres chopped inner arches etc but just wanna get engine in running first.

6.2 twin turbo with 6 speed box just fits the bill nicely lol

Plenty of pics to follow

Any one want to play the guessing game on how much the chassis will take before it starts to twist?

I reckon 750ftlb's

Hi guys , I'm running 4 psi waste gate springs but it is making about 6 psi and 740 @ wheels on the first Dyno setup , we didn't go to mad as it was a new engine with 200 miles on it. We did see 834 ft lb @ wheels at only 3500 rpm running 1 bar !!!! , its booked it next month for Dyno time now isn't run in . As for driving it is very very nice to drive really smooth and useable a real pussycat , until you give some throttle then it breaks traction in first second third and into forth if not 100% dry . That's on 315 yokos , you will Need to update everything my first run it snapped the " unbreakable " driveshafts $2400 later some big ass shafts and cvs from the states . Then it was pulling the threads out of the RAM twin plate ally flywheel replaced with steel version , then it was twisting the prop about to go ( all the paint flaked off 5mm of the welds, scary) , replaced with a carbon composite billet ended prop (£750) , and now the dodge viper diff that's been in it a while is loosing its lock !! . The gearbox is updated so might last who knows ? , this is all at just 6-7 psi max so let's see what 14psi does . Oh and then there the heat !! But do it it's awesome

Why not just fit a full solid mount plate?

Not sure I know the sagaris I am doing has had three weeks of bracing on the chassis and wishbones etc , after a seasons racing ( no crashes ) the front of the car was all moving about and flexing , it had bent the top rear wishbone bolt due to not being supported but this is more to do with slicks and proper brakes than power , it's now having a ls motor fitted so we have had to go over it all .
9" diff , os giken LSD extra support plate

Ls motor 6.9l full steel built motor , throttle biddies,dry sump etc etc
