looks like a fox body coupe to me. also nice using the new carb to ls1 adapter kit. I like it. and I hope that the fox body part is right. b/c it sure is an ls1. and that sure is one of the new conversion kits I have been seeing in summit and jegs. let us know how it turns out.

I would be betting on Nitrous setup, check out last pic i see a nitrous works bottle for a passenger. I would love to see the times this thing runs when it is done. Keep us posted.

got pics of the headers and can you take some pics of the how you mounted the motor plate and mid plate. at least yours is in mine isn't yet also where are you located? I got a friend who wants to run alcohol carb like you on an ls1. Should be fast for sure. What do you think the car weighs?

Nice - kinda looks like my old Hugger Orange LS1 Fox coupe. Only much more serious!

7.0's in the 1/8th - 6.90s with a little better tuning - high 10's in the 1/4. STOCK motor, with headers, ported TB, mild tuning, TH350 with a 3800 stall. Once the new owner adds a 100-150 shot, it should be interesting to see what it does. Oh, and it tips the scales at 2500 lbs, less driver.

Good luck with it.

No - I need to get another hybrid at the shop that has some type of conversion plates on it, because mine had custom solid mounts. They need to be made for what most people are going to be using - motor mount wise.

I have a hybrid you can use. It's a 95 stang with a LS1 with a F1 procharger. Are you in the Dallas area? If so let me know...

Looks good. Have you seen that Edelbrock has now released a single plane Victor Junior carb intake for the LSx? It's pimp.
