Lets start up an index of LSX conversion car websites. If you have a website for your project car, please reply in this thread with a link. Your photos could be very helpful for someone else taking the same path.

Please post the type of vehicle, and type of engine/tranny you are using.

Here is mine:

Default LM7 5.3 into 1988 Supra

My Cardomain page dealing with the swap is here.

The story so far:
Always wanted to put a smallblock into a Supra. Had prior experience with a Gen I into a mid-80's RX7 (since sold), and am finishing up an LT1 into a 75 280Z.

EDIT 9-20-06
I cut out most of the redundant text here that was on my website so save bandwidth here. I hope to have the motor/trans in this weekend, then I'm down to 100 or so "little" things to fabricate and hook up.

Click on link for pic:
Motor mount bolted to LM7

Motor pic 1

Motor pic 2

Motor pic 3

Motor pic 4


I'll update here as I make more progress.

EDIT 1-29-07
It runs! Wow! I never thought I'd see the day. Video link on LS1 Tech Video.
