Default LS1 Newbie

Hello, I live and work in the Pasadena, Texas area about three weeks out of the month, then go to my home in Eastern New Orleans, to recover for about a week. I have enjoyed tinkering with cars for most of my life, helped others repair theirs and even repaired them professionally for awhile.
Now I am ready for a toy. Brainstormed for quite a long time, and have concluded that, after test driving the Hinson Motorsports RX8/LS1 conversion, I want to build my own. Joined LS1TECH, to do research before I begin my project. Any insight you guys have to offer will much appreciated.

Thanks

David

Welcome to the site and an addiction that will leave you broke and hungry....but with a nice car!

For starters, I would hit up the Conversion & Hybrid section of the forum. They'll put an LS in just about anything over there. Should be some good info to get you started.
