I like it. I read that it was a TVR or whatever, but what company is it based off of? Looks like a Viper mixed with a RX7.

TVR is TVR, Like Toyota is Toyota, it used to have TVR's own 4.2 V8 in, which had a snapped crank in it, hence the conversion.

There ya go....

Sweet conversion BTW and that LS motor is bigger stronger and cheaper than that Rover/Buick based motor you had in there. Good move dude!
