Still a lot of time, money, and work left but its getting there. Aiming for 600-700hp at a max of 2800lbs with me in it. Tell me what you think.

Sounds like a fun project. Should be a riot to drive...

Looks like fun. Not sure you will fit the lm7 intake....unless you do some cutting of the hood. I decided on the LS6 intake for that reason. Where are you located?

I found my ls1 intake to be broken so I will be rolling no hood at first. I'm from the Joplin Mo area

Ah nice. Yes then no issue with the LM intake. I have my project 95 240sx with LM7 sitting in NY and hope to bring it down to TX this fall.

Looking good so far, did you get the 4l80e in yet? I've got a 5.3l 4l80e combo in my s13. 4l80e was a complete pain in the *** to fit.

No I'm still looking to buy one. I'm actually going to cut my tunnel out and get it fitted then put the tunnel back in. I figured it'd be easier from the top than from the bottom and putting a tunnel back in it is no biggy.

How do you think this setup would run with a powerglide? Considering how light the car is going to be. I found one for cheap in town.
