I am new here but already have found some benefitting info. I am in the process of putting a LS1, C5 auto transaxle in the back seat of a corvair, crown conversion style and need some help. I have a very good Corvette tuning shop helping with the electronics so I am concentrating on assembling parts and nuts & bolts fabrication. If anyone knows:
Dimension on LS1 block from bellhousing to front of water pump pulley, same dimension for small block?
I did a search and found in 2004 93Polo referred to a project by someone named Phil West but his e-mail address is no longer valid. Does anyone know of him?
I will kep you appraised of the project.
Thanks, Jim
