Default Ls1 into 240sx____PICS

I am in the process of an Ls1 engine into a 240sx. Ive been Lagging and now i am getting started. With the help of my roomate, we are doing most of the work in our garage, except for the custom fab. work. I will keep updating pictures as it goes on. Should only take about two more weeks. Let me know what you think. im open to suggestions.
This is how it started





The heart of the project

more progress, i am waiting to load pictures. i am planning on keeping it stock. If it's not fast enough, i guess a 100 shot is in the future. The engine is mounted and recessed 8 inches.

replying to the bolt on's, im in CA so i am limited to power and performance with smog issues. i would rather not get sent to referee. also nitrous is a lot cheaper. it will be fast enough for now.

i think some people are using the c5 shorties but you still have to mod them.
