Default LSx in Conquest Starion?

I know someone has done it, but couldn't find anything in the search. Grett looking cars, pimped out inside, and readily available for cheap since the stock 2.6 heads are ****! There are tons of them in perfect shape but blown motors for $1500 or less, and the rice kids use some of the turbo parts for their cars, so you could offset the cost by selling stuff. Anyay, I believe the LSx car wighed like 2800-2900. Wondering what the fitment issues are? Be a fun project! Maybe do-able for around $5000 total? Should be a hi 11/low 12 car with a stock motor, no?

I know someone who started the project but never finished it. I think I have his email at work. I'll try to post it up tomorrow.

Derek, please do. I remember rading about it awhile back.
Like I said, they are pretty inside and out, and most of them have blown motors, so they are available CHEAP! RWD with wide meats, good handling, why the hell not? $5-6G could be possible, or am I dreaming?

jm134@neo.rr.com is the guy's email address. He was doing a Starion. I think he parted it out before he ever got it up and going. He used a Holden pan, had a Viper Dana 44 diff, some really sweet wheels.
