What % overdrive are you running...?

How about some specs on your combo.

Not sure if anybody makes a front crankshaft support for the ls engines but it made a big difference in reliability on both our sbc and bbc combo's we ran.

Looks like it's going to be a fun ride...

Yeah I have a RCD bbc crank support that we are going to put on the front. Building new brackets that will bolt to the LS block. The big block support was the only one I measured that would clear the front cover. Also going to build a tensioner bracket built and put the fuel likes on it and we should be close to lighting it off!

Cool...

Sounds like you have the bases covered...

Always was interested in seeing someone build a blown alcohol LSA motor...

Should be nasty.

Haha it will definitely have a hole in the hood. No way I would buy a carbon hat and cover it up! Gotta have it out in the wind!

As for getting it to fit under the stock hood that's simple, mount it behind the driver !

The scoop would be sticking out above the roof and the stock hood could remain stock. simples.
