Envious

Man I wish I had that much room underhood to work with, sweet.

My first V8 conversion about 20 years ago was a 240Z with a high perf Ford 289.

My current is an 2006 Corvette LS2 in a 1994 Miata. I had already installed a 2000 LS1 see old pic, but will have the LS2 in within the next week or so.

Again like everybody said, Nice ZZZZZZZZ Man!!!!!!

i love the way the engine is mostly behind the shock towers and the steering rack is in front. Engine looks nice and low too. Should handle really well. Nice work.
