Alot of sand rails made today are LSx powered
I took a ride in a mid-engine LS2 2-seater, my ***** are much larger now.
I dont dig on redline engines though
A customer had me look at his car to see what motor it had.
they had ground off the head casting numbers and put on a truck intake
kinda shady

I remember the first time I saw an LS1 powered rail in AZ and I was floored. Thats some sick power to weight ratio. The owner said it would stand strait up whenever he hammered the pedal.

LS 4.8 liter motor and harness out of a 01 Silverado to put in a rear engine buggy made by Tony Vanillo. What are my options for a transaxel/transmission? Not really sure where to start....
