Default LS2/T56 in a 65 El Camino

Guess I should have posted this before now. It made it's debut at the 08 LSX Nationals and the past year has been flogged repeatedly at road courses, Autox and several two thousand mile+ trips. Also has made several 150+mph passes at Maxton with a best to date of 158. With a new gear ratio I am hoping to pick up 10 mph at the Oct. Maxton.

Default LT to LS3 Conversion car w/T56 & LT K-Member

Here is one really awesome LT to LSX swap done by Blaine Fabrication out in California. A bunch of build photo's of the engine all the way to installation are below. The motor is one amazing piece of art created by TPiS, 422CUI dry sump race engine(well in excess of 700hp). The brakes, are Baer 6R calipers at all 4 corners. An Unbalanced Engineering torque arm, helps get the power to the ground thru the Strange 12 Bolt rear end. VFN body work on the car as well.

Here is the car now completed - of course before these pics see what happened on a set of factory reproduction rims...

So Weld Racing and Custom Vehicle Wraps (cvwraps.com) stepped up to make the car awesome looking, after Modern Bench Operations put things back where they belonged. Weld Racing has partnered with Kurtz to supply him some amazing looking RT-S rims. CVWraps is supplying the autowrapping, and get this in Forza 3 motorsport, BDI (Big Daddy Inc) created the design in the game which is now on the car.
