Looks good bro! Glad to see another 97 getting the LS treatment.

Yes, I treated it for lack of power, drivability and reliability.

Love the looks of this. I'm going to shoot for an iron block swap into my S14 Zenki next year. I'm thinking either a 5.7 or 6.0L iron block, L92nheads, car intake and maybe a cam. I'd like 400+whp.

Did you buy the complete kit from Fueled Performance or just the mounts? Their kit looks similar to the Sikky MFG kit but at $600 more. Maybe they have more things with the kit, Did you upgrade anything? I want to keep my cruise control and A/C functional.

What exhaust are you planning to run? Your video sounds like it is just open headers.

Be sure to get a 6.0 and L92's with a cam. You will make 400 wheel easy.

Not sure what the Sikky kit comes with compared to the Fueled kits but I can say the Fueled kit is very high quality and fits perfectly. I went with the aluminum drive shaft. I think Fueled has AC lines as well.

My buddy was driving it in this vid, I told him to take it easy.

Need to bleed brakes and get aligned.

Sick build man!! I'm in VA as well. You're not going to have a hard time getting it inspected right? I'm under the impression that in VA you have to swap a motor in that's the same year of your car or newer with all of the emissions stuff. Just getting everything in order before I swap an LS2 in my 350z. Thanks.

We have inspections but not emissions.

I finally took some better pics outside and some of the exhaust as well.

Here is a pic of one of the Fueled Racing headers with a two bolt ball flange from summit racing welded on. Works great!



Pics of the exhaust made from generic SS 2x 2.5" exhaust and a X pipe from summit. I think it turned out awesome.







Nicer outside pics taken with phone so still not that great.

I've been getting a lot of questions on how I routed the PS lines. Here are some pics showing them going through the cross member. Credit Todd at Fueled Racing for this method.

I used -6 AN XRP straight and 30 deg fittings.

Love the exhaust man. What mufflers are those and how loud is it?
I really like the x-pipe.
