Only prob with the LS1's they're getting some decent K's on them now, as locally they were finished here back in 2005.

yeah thats true anything less than 150xx will do for the project
Cooling was my next question, guess they use the standard setup, I couldn't image much more seeing the std ls rads aren't that thick a core, surface area though could be the enemy. However from memory the old mans 911 days majority of coolant and water pipe runs up the drivers side (rhd models) but gauge is small for package reasons.
Bear in mind at these K's you'll be looking at a lite overhaul, valve springs/seals & perhaps oil pump too, have seen many VY series 2+ with crook oil pump regs that require a minor tear down to replace the pump as not worth repairing. Recommend doing this @ any rate whilst the LS1 is on the floor much easier!!Quote:

Yeah "Victoria" runs radiators in the front & has an electric water pump. There is no way you could run a normal belt pump in there. I took some pics/video's when i was over there.
I'll upload some pics later tonight when im at home. The biggest problem it had was engine bay temps when stationary. Once it got going the air temps would drop quick but it was humid as all hell when i was there. Worse then north queensland type humid.
Ill run thermos on the back of the 2 main ones and have run all the time. hopefully that should be enough to keep it cool if not i have room in my wing for an extra one
Seen plenty going strong with far more kms on them & they are not very expensive to freshen up in the big scheme of things. :goodjob:Quote:

Loving the build, great work.
My ls has done 150 and still pulls so hard it would give the kings cross ladies a run.
Should be a breathalyser hooked up to my computer lol
New video so go easy Im still learning how to make them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cuv_S5R3vU
It s been a busy few weeks. I decided to scrap the g50 pedal set up and go full Tilton Pedal box with triple remote reservoir, I think it will suit the Ls swap and make life a little easier. I started work on fixing my dinted doors and got the car in primer.
next job is to finish the doors off, sand the bumpers and fenders and finish fixing my cracked fender.
I get a lot of questions on my transaxle so I might make a video on it next showing everyone how it works and what i got.
