Default Conversion folks please list your conversion in here

Please list:

1) Vehicle receiving the swap
2) Your new combo, LS1; A4 or M6, etc.
3) Link to pics if you have any

We can create a list and link it to the top of this forum as a guide.

I wanted to thank everyone who has gotten the word out about this particular forum, I wasn't sure if it would have an audience but it appears that there is one.

Bonus points if you have info or pics of that 59 Cadillac converstion with the turbocharged LS1 from New Jersey!!!!
