Magnacharger has arrived, it will be on the dyno in a week or so.

Magnason put together this hybrid for me to fit the LS2. Has the throttle body facing the rear, and drives off the front with no jackshaft (as it does in Vette/GTO applications)

That is going to be a complete monster. All I can say is you better plastic-line your seats and have lots of spare undergarments in the side pods...you, and your passengers, are going to need them.

Thanks Chris.... Yeah, it is the intercooled one, and being the polished its also VERYcool ....I cant wait to see it in the flesh and touch it inappropriately.


Jeff is now sorting out the belts, AC and Alt. We had some very sexy AC and Alt units from Street and Performance but they were made for mounting high and they couldnt be made for mounting low... so back to GM parts... too bad, these S&P ones are very nice.




Also, I have ordered these wheels, should be with Jeff any day.



Jeff already has the G50 (rebuilt with taller 1st gear and LSD), Autometer gauges, Cats, Simpson harnesses (in silver colour), PCM + Harness...... The chassis is sitting at the factory ready to go. I was going to send the engine to the UK to ship with the car to avoid some registration and customs hassles here but after some serious brown nosing last week at the Transport Dept I may have a way around that.... so now trying to get it all together for Santa to deliver for Xmas. Ho Ho Ho....
