Lets start up an index of LSX conversion car websites. If you have a website for your project car, please reply in this thread with a link. Your photos could be very helpful for someone else taking the same path.
Please post the type of vehicle, and type of engine/tranny you are using.

Not sure when or what the next project will be... LS1 RX8? LS1 240sx? LS1 3series? LS1 Miata? LS1 S2000?
The story so far:
Always wanted to put a smallblock into a Supra. Had prior experience with a Gen I into a mid-80's RX7 (since sold), and am finishing up an LT1 into a 75 280Z.
EDIT 9-20-06
I cut out most of the redundant text here that was on my website so save bandwidth here. I hope to have the motor/trans in this weekend, then I'm down to 100 or so "little" things to fabricate and hook up.
EDIT 1-29-07
It runs! Wow! I never thought I'd see the day. Video link on LS1 Tech Video.

I'd put one in my Dodges too if they would fit (Daytona) or were not under warranty (Challenger)!
