My Ls1 swapped Eclipse!

:drive: I started with a pile of parts and over the past few weeks Ive slowly put it together. Its a work in progress, and still has a way to go. I bought the car because I loved the look of it and it only cost me $7.97. On the other hand I wanted a strong yet reliable powerplant. The answer to resolve my problem? LS1 swap. Walk around video of my Ls1 Eclipse running. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/2FF52DFB-AEF7-4517-A213-B0D80C603E9E.htm https://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/BillyBob075/LS1%20Eclipse/Eclipse1.jpg https://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/BillyBob075/LS1%20Eclipse/Eclipse2.jpg https://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/BillyBob075/LS1%20Eclipse/Eclipse4.jpg https://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/BillyBob075/LS1%20Eclipse/Eclipse3.jpg https://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/BillyBob075/LS1%20Eclipse/Eclipse5.jpg

Hah maybe room to the sides, not to the top though! I had to cut into the under body of the eclipse so the tailshaft of the tranny had room to sit.

Well actually no.... See its amphibious as well. (sp?) Ive got hamsters in the front wheels. The run to power the car on the street. Then Ive got a prop attached to the tranny output and that shoots me through the water.
