that was my second choice but the 72 MGB (convertible) that I have is just a shell of a body that is upside down next to my shed. The Datsun is a running driving car. Cool project! G

How come nobody has done a LS-X into a C4/L98 Corvette? My son and I are planning on putting one in his '87 Vette coupe. Looking for any info. Not to hijack this thread. Just thinking if somebody has done this swap they could post that here?

I've started a new hybrid forum that is open to all cars with any type of engine swap. This isn't meant to replace forums like this one. It's meant as a gathering place for all car guys/girls to show the world what they have built. Some people have not seen a conversion like yours so lets show them what you have built! Check out the user garage section.

http://www.hybrid9s.com/

Thanks,
Craig

Come check out the new look. Also I added more sections, there should be a forum for just about everyone.

I'm thinking about changing the name. Check out the board related section and cast your vote.
