Hi From Scotland My name's Pete and I stay in Broughty Ferry on the North East coast of Scotland.
I have recently taken delivery of a 1998 LS1 engine cut out of a Camaro, which I'm fitting in my 1950 Morris Minor (pro street style).
It is built on a separate chassis, with strut front end, and narrowed Ford 9 inch rear on 4 bars and panhard rod.
As you can imagine, there are not many LS1 vehicles around here, so I will be visiting this site to gain information.
Some pics so you know what i am talking about.
Pete
Stripping unwanted stuff from engine
On Hoist
Sitting in correct orientation for trial fitting on chassis
Going in
It fits
Back under shell
Side view - engine isn't very tall, so should be able to keep bonnet brace
Engine from my other V8 Minor (Rover 3.9) - should sit about the same position, but lower

Well, that's 4 years since I got the LS1 engine, and things have moved on quite a bit - now with a pro builder - looks as though it will be finished this year.
Here's a link to the build process:
