Son of a bitch. The title of this thread made me giggle.

Hope those brakes are powerful enough.

That's amazing!! Super clean install. A video of that machine on the road would be nice! The exhaust is a piece of art in itself. Very well done Sir.

Solstice LS kit

Does anyone offer parts to bolt the LS engine into a Solstice or are they shop installed projects only?

By the way great looking Solstice.

Joe this is a Sick build.. This is deep pocket material for sure.. lol

One thing I was looking at was the intake duct and how you have it snake over and down the front.... Any trouble with the clearance, rubbing etc? Just from the pics it looks like it resting right on top..

Gorgeous car and build. I plan on my Miata swap being the same caliber. Did you hide the coils underneath the cowl somewhere?

I saw the Mallett LS2 Solstice's at a car show 2 years ago...met him too. Crazy fast little cars. If traction is possible then these things would be perfect sleeper track cars.

course now you can get one with $7k off of sticker!!! that's a $7k budget for an ls swap. just think you could have an LS solstice/sky for the same price as what the car cost a year ago!!!....
