Building an LS1 Powered Widebody Porsche 911

Love those two piece hat rotors, the reason I went with Harrops instead of Brembos on my VF2, great bit of gear!!

yeah mate Im looking for a rear hump sump....ANYONE GOT ONE? once i get one ill fit it and make a bash plate like i did with the gearbox.https://i.imgur.com/UtNl2k7.jpg


Yeah i loce the rotors too I just need to find time to fit them!

Nice work, whatever oil pan they use for a HQ - WB ls1 conversion should be the ticket then, alternatively I think some of the yank cars like F bodies and maybe Vettes have the rear pan arrangement.

Cradle turned out mint, water pump and lines are in big as battery is in

May be howled down for this though the problem I see it will be difficult to purge the air from the cooling system with those pipes rising above both the engine & Rad.
perhaps a few bleed valves may help in the top of those?

Yeah I thought about that and fitte the expansion tank above the motor in the boot.

so i decided to freshen up the motor, lucky i did as the heads were ****ed, i got a set of 241s that look in great shape. all I need now is a rear hump sump. Any one got one??????
