Default Jod's 427 TT LSX Project!

You all know about the GM Performance LSX Block, designed for the larger cube & extreme FI applications. It's probably the toughest LS block going. Match that up with a pair of MASSIVE turbo's in a VT Commodore and what do you get? Take a look at the size of the turbos relative to the block, it almost looks like a photochop but i can assure you it isn't!! Their size indicates where Jody (a keen Russo customer down here in Australia) wants to go in terms of power for this project... Any guesses?

We'll keep you posted as the project progresses, this is going to be insane

That is a badass engine none the less, but that is a gay *** car also. Sell that POS and put it in an f bod where it belongs.

Yeah before saying some ignorant comment like that, maybe some research about what kind of cars they have out there should've been done.

But anyways definately a hell of a set up you are getting started there. I'm guessing in the realm of 2000hp+ easily? You aussies are always pushing the LS world further and further. And let me guess..... Still keeping it a street car too hahah. Good luck on the build and keep us posted on it.

I know im ignorent. why wasnt the first idea in my head, "hey lets check and see what kind of cars the aussies drive" instead of that the first idea was "four door? Ricer Stickers? LSX? WTF." I guess before you insulted me you should have checked and seen what kind of people are from missouri, maybe then you wouldnt have know we are all ignorent.

Do they sell f bodies outside of the USA at all?

Anyway a local car builder down here (Holden) have been using LSx V8's in our cars for almost 10 years. They have a pretty strong following, and Holden has been known to sell the odd car to the USA too (Pontiac GTO and upcoming G8).

Personally i think you should have picked the wagon style, it looks more sporty.
