Anybody think of dropping a LS1/4L60-E combo (or even a LS6) in an old Monaro or a Torana...?
Would be fun, I wonder what it would take...?

Do you guy's have any prob's getting that stuff approved? In NSW, I was told "if you use a late model engine, you have to bring the entire spec of the car up to the same ADR rule for the engines year of manufacture" ????

P.S. 2300# LS1 powered car..... yeah baby! <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
