Just out of interest Anthony....

why the LS1, as there are newer, more powerfull versions?
did you use the Cerbera's gearbox?
did you use the Cerbera's ECU?

Tel us some more about the conversion.

Arjen

I used the LS1 because there was one avalable at the right price. I've had new heads, cam and new intake so should be pushing out quite a bit of power, I've also been told that if I need more power I can go silly and have over 500rwhp N/A
I've gone with the tko 600 gearbox with an LS 3 clutch
I am using the cerbera ecu

Any pics of the conversion? I enjoyed watching Brummmie's taking shape.

You must be relatively local if you're having it converted there. I'm in Redditch and I'm planning to buy another Cerb in the new year. Would be good to catch-up.

Interesting..

Do post some pics when you get it back and tel us how your experiences are. Steve Heath's ls1 pushes out 368hp. Standard with a good tune.

If you have the funds, you can go pretty wild weith the hp's! I drove a LS7 Vortech supercharged Corvette from my customer today (yes, I have a nice job)!!! It has 760hp's and drove like a dream. Silly engine's.
