Passed the first cert inspection???

Since we into " American Muscle".... 496 ci.....do the maths.... 620hp with a holley carbi. Loads his R35 wheels in it?

Cert inspector coming in at 1pm tomorrow to go over the Holden that we fitted the V8 into. I will have a chat regarding the mounts, steering shaft mod, to panel the tunnel, shifting the steering rack, and other areas of the build. ?

Latest engine mount design. Will use +-40mm pipe 3.5-4 mm wall thickness with new base to suit shape of cross member.

A

Fitted mounts. Gearbox all squared up?‍? Engine 2 mm to right. Height sweet. Have better ideas for the mount and for strengthening the crossmember. Made a vid. Never save?.Starter quite close to steering shaft and makes it more of a squeeze for headers. Might have to bring front 2 forward. Chucked orig springs and some 16s on to move her around. After +-27 hrs...a 6.0ltr V8 sits in this e36 ???

Some dodgee loo king temporary engine mounts and a possible permanent gearbox one. Glad I made these ones though...gave me some new ideas for the actual design. Want to TRY and make them solid Az mate...incase me or the next owner goes mental and 1000hp'ers this soon to be Monster?

Temporary fronts and rears....well strong rears...

Drilled holes for mounting plates, fitted with new bolts, washes & springs, thought of designs for mounts, might make some temporary ones for the front...oh..anyone know where cn I get some thick wall tube for the engine mount bushes...21 OD... She sits soooo freakin toight in there??

Modifying this sump took out a good few hrs from the mild transformation of the 36 ???.....annnnyway ...moving forward.... Got to moan every now and again...keeps us understanding women?? Oh used wurth silicon instead...cos I aint starting Ls up and I also held plate with some self taps

Only a few hours of work. Engine on stand. Removed, cut & cleaned sump. Need to source out some sleeves and tubes for the engine mount bushes. Loving this build...???? 20200108_140110.mp4

70A grade instead of 88A...

$2000 Complete with Ecu. NZ New. Engine ran strong. Removed the rocker cover to replace the gasket and looked like engine was well serviced. Never have any sludge. Normal oil leaks. Used +- 0.6 ltrs of oil in a year. No blue smoke. Would give a warranty. 20200106_130346.mp4

Yea man...these L98s come with the Ls3 heads and make easy reliable 450 -500whp with a cam kit & lifters(haha sounds like 1920s), port & polished heads, laser points and titanium condensors with a remapped carburettor?, cold air induct and a maf-less tune. Thanks for the tip for the cut outs brru...will leave that for after the cert?.

Will be picking up the captive bush kit for the engine mounts tomorrow. Also need to source out a rear subframe for the E60 Lsd.

Day 2 Removed heat shield from tunnel and tidied it up by cutting studs & touching up with primer& paint. Removed slave, fuel pipes, stabilser, pwr steering piping and drained brake fluid. Made up templates and cut some steel for the mounts. Got the Line-lock and exhaust cutt-out systems out the cupboard to bring them to the party. Tried fitting the transplant but I kinda knew that the sump wouldnt clear...was just to dahm eager. I want to start the Ls up on the stand or floor with the box coupled before i cut the sump to make it fit so the mounts can get fabricated. Holley sump here in 2.5 to 3 weeks.

Thanks dude..spoke to him

Saw these. Thanks homs

Productive day. Ls sump that I've ordered is 50mm to high. The Holley one would be here in 2-3 weeks. Would fab mounts, relocate ABS pump, look at steering shaft and start Ls in the ground....that would get the eager & excitement juices pumping?? 20200106_183556.mp4

Finally. Liposuction started. Aiming for 1200. Piping and fittings for Abs shift and clutch. Guy at Steerling brake& clutch says 36s 3/4 inch master would have enough pressure to order the slave...I have my doubts...Will see.

Hi Engineers... I plan on fabricating new engine and gearbox mounts for the Ls swop. Any guidance will be appreciated ??. I have read the lvvta specs and know the types that I prefer...but always open to know more ?

Hi, What are the options for a thinner steering shaft. ..? Has anyone imported one or had one made up..?
