I'm running a S10 with LSA supercharged 6.0 TR6060, You're going to have fun with that when it's done. How much boost do you think it will be making?

My LS9 supercharger arrived yesterday from Livernois Motorsports & Engineering. Worked with Dave from there and the transaction went perfect!

When I first started planning the build, the thought of having one of these on the car never crossed my mind! Actual ZR1 parts... holy crap...Amazing how this project evolved once again.

I should be seeing the new K member from BMR in the next couple of days and then I can begin doing the mock-up.
With the motor being at the shop and the car being at home in my garage it will make for some interesting going back and forth pics making the measurements

Yeah, we'll clearance the area around the trans obviously for it to fit. My TPiS aluminum driveshaft shortened accordingly and we are going to make a trans crossmember ourselves

Got in the new BMR K-member yesterday so now measuring and mockup can begin!

This is their sbc/bbk with LS style mounting plates.

The vertical posts that bolt to the kmember have bushings and by shaving the bushings down will allow the motor to be lowered. Normally when people are doing LSA swaps in the 4th gens they are just getting an LS style K member and shimming the whole K member down which has several potential probs.

No new updates. Either something happened to the guy or either he gave up like most do or maybe no time.

Hey guys. The project is still ongoing...well, paused is more like it due to cost of it all. The only real progress I made this summer was getting the V/ZL1 brakes sorted out.

But the intent to get this thing done with all the stuff i want is still 100% on!
