Corvette Engine into T350

[carsarecool]

Heard of an instance where this has been done and I'm interested in this as an option for my car.

Anyone on here explored this or had it done?

Met a chap at Le Mans this year in the process, waiting for parts, not sure if it is a finished project by now?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Mart

What about dropping an AJP V8 in ? - keeps it a thoroughbred TVR, you'll get more torque and a relaible 400+ bhp. Also, the AJP V8 weigh's around 80kg less than the SP6 engine. From memory, I think the SP6 engine and the Chevy LS engines are similar in weight.

Another factor is would an LS engine suit the characteristics of the car ?. For me, the T350 is "waspish" in character - fast and agile with a high revving engine that screams at full tilt. Would a more ponderous V8 engine really suit the car ? - I don't think so. However, the AJP V8 is also a high revving engine and would be more in keeping with the car's current character.

Just my 2peneth.

Hmmmm, interesting

I take your point, anyone know how much this would cost and also, I presume this would this be a re-built engine? Would this be as reliable as an LS V8? This is one reason that I'm interested in the LS.
