Ultima GTR w/ LS1 I have been tinkering with the idea of purchasing a Ultima GTR kit and dropping an LS1 into it. I have been thinking about this for a long time now and am now in the position where it might be a reality. I was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of an LS1 being put into one of these cars. There is a company the Ultima reccomends build you a motor for the car but I am not sure I want to go the carbed route and the FI motors that the company builds are $$$$$$$. And the way I see it, an LS1 with cam and heads in a car that light would be a BRUTAL street car that would carve up the twisties like they were nothing.
If anyone has heard of anyone doing this combo, please forward me any links, pics, etc.

gtr Yep, that's my car, on the links above and PT. It's a LS6 with C5R valve covers on it. 2210 lbs full of fuel.
10.92 @ 131 previous best to date. Just installed NOS, now 480 rwhp.
When you install one in an Ultima your faced with fabrication of headers and exhaust system. I'm almost wishing I just would have put in a Hardcore 454 sbc.
Look for a feature story on it in the Feb issue of a major car magazine next month.
