It was SteepSS that first got me into them. I first saw his in a 1320 video back when it was a H/C LS1. Then you had to come along and make things worse lol. I'm hooked now! I didn't follow his whole thread from the start, but I'll be sure to check it out more thoroughly for the mounts. I was considering getting rid of the turbo in favor of a Centri blower as I want to go with a 6 speed. However, I the 78/75 with a .96 AR turbine housing would have near instant spool on a 347. I've got another two months or so to decide, but I've been itching to do this for about two years now. Post some vids of that beast in action already lol.
I hear you. Been hooked for a while myself now. Don't worry videos are coming soon!

The 1JZ and 2JZ engines make great power, but I just can't stand the sound. I have an iron 347 with Eagle rods, arp bolts and Diamond -9cc pistons sitting in my garage already. Either it's going in the formula or the Z, when I get it. If it goes in the formula, than the LS1 with go into the Z.

The MP112 was something I looked into, but I think that would be too much torque for a ~2800lb car. That's why I was thinking a Centri might be good, but I already have the turbo, so I'll atleast try it. I know there tiny little things but the engine bay can't be much worse than an f body, right?..

Are you running with no a/c and no power steering? That's what I'm doing, and I'm trying to find the right combination of parts to run the Corvette spec ATI so the Dailey right side mount dry sump with work with the rest of the system.

Sounds like it can be done, might take a bit of trial and error. I just got the word yesterday that my parts will soon exit machine shop purgatory after serving a 9 month sentence. Now on to the builder to see just how much of a pain in the butt it is to fit the LS covers, pan and external parts to the Dart block.
I sure appreciate the excellent write up on your build. A lot of food for thought.

I'm looking forward to actually being able to do something. I just called up some old programs for T4 flanges, HX40 flanges, and 1/2 Marmon flanges to see if I still had them. I think I saw dust come out of the computer when I called them up. Been a while.
