ls1 engined tvr's

[marcevo1]

hi - may be a daft question? but does anyone have any experience of dropping a 5.7 LS1 chevy engine / g box into a tvr?

i've got a 4 door tvr......supercharged holden HSV :-) selling that currently but just thinking of a future project - buy a blown up speed 6 etc and drop in a ls1 (minus charger as i suspect 530bhp may be a tad too much...)

thought came about after admiring a mint tvr griff 500 hc (i assume HC from the number plate) was in my rear view mirror today.... think the owner got bit of a shock when the 'big blue car' pulled away so easily - think he'd have been even more amazed if he knew i was in 5th gear :-)

any advice / pointers would be gratefully recieved.

I think somebody on here has done this with a Chimaera?

Maybe Jellison ?
