LS6 engine in an Ultima

[imagine]

I apologize in advance if this is a silly question, but I'm new to building cars. I'm looking at getting an Ultima GTR kit to build in California. Unfortunately, everything I read seems to point towards major limitations on what's possible from an engine standpoint - being pointed towards an LS1. Was curious if it's possible to put an LS6 in the Ultima chassis and if so would it still pass California Emissions, etc.? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

schimms - do you have any idea what the cost would be for a copy of your exhaust system - ballpark would be fine? Also - would there be any guarantee that the system would pass CA emissions?

Thanks much for the info!

Also - curious what electronics and instrumentation you plan to build in with your LS6, would imagine that there would be a number of possibilities.

Miguel,
Thanks much for the info, thus far, finding someone who has built and registered an Ultima GTR in California has been a challenge - though I've only been looking for a short time. Guess my next steps will be to followup with the CARB, etc.

Sven,
I'll drop you a mail to followup on options.

to all,
Also, interested if anyone has had any luck with a sequential gearbox. I've read a couple posts here - most seem to have been rather troublesome experiences. Anyone with positive news/details?

Thanks, imagine

pstockley - do you by chance have any contact information for the guy in Cali? I'm really looking to find someone who has negotiated these challenges before so I'm not re-inventing the wheel and/or throwing my money away...

thanks much!

RSchley - thanks, I've tried this route - the contact us page seems to just send mail to the UK folks. Anyone have a phone number or additional info on the US operation?
