Hi! Hi everyone!
I'm an english car junkie hoping to use an LS1/6 in my current project car... an Opel Manta. You guys didn't have them over in the states.
This is how they look as standard...
There was a rally version created in the 80's
and this is what I'm kinda basing mine around. Well, the bodywork'll be similar, I guess.
Here's how it looks at the moment. I've finished the rear spaceframe, am about to make the axle, and I can't continue the front and middle until I've got an engine...
Bring on an LS1!
These are some great forums, I've been reading then for a while now!

yup, I've done all the fabrication work myself. I originally started started out just putting a V6 into the car, but the more I did, the more I realised how comprimised the shell was getting.
