just awesome.
it makes me so happy to see that motor in that car.
beautiful chassis and now a similarly nice motor but with mega displacement, wow that thing is gonna be incredible on the streets. you may have the first LS1-S2000 when its up and running, thats a great world wide claim, congrats and get it up and running asap!
you might need to make your own headers or you might be able to modify the LS1RX7 headers from hinson or from JTR or modify the mustang BBKs or try the vette headers used on LS1240sx swaps. either way best of luck! lookin good and cant wait to see more progress!
more pics too!

Not sure when or what the next project will be... LS1 RX8? LS1 240sx? LS1 3series? LS1 Miata? LS1 S2000?
Yea this has been talked about over on the V8 RX7 forum a good bit i was wondering when someone would take it on, Just one question why did you remove the ABS I see this so much in the swaps and just dont get it I'm sure you can get it to work.

Wow i always wanted to do a swap like this, this would be the only import i would drive.........subscribing!!!!! good luck with the swap, you got the support of the lsx crowd. But your going to piss off alot of ignorant honda kids

For headers, your should find some one who will custom build some, if you cant do it yourself. Although I see your a good fab guy, so you might try it. If your anywhere close to SoCal, there is a real real good exhaust shop in San Bernardino that will make custom headers and exhausts for anything. Ive seen their work, real nice stuff

what issues did you have with aligning the shifter? my car uses the T56 and we had to move the engine forward to get the shifter in the right spot. you moved your engine back 3.5 inches?
have you mock fitted any headers yet, or are you just going to throw parts at it? i ended up putting a front clip on the car, simply to accommodate the custom headers. at the time, there were no off-shelf headers that came even close to fitting.
i'm using C4 IRS. you'd better be using more than a nissan rearend if you want that setup to last.
what size radiator are you going to use? it doesn't look like you have much room left in there, with the stock radiator core support. are you removing the A/C? are you using the OEM multi-belt accessory setup?
and because this is ls1tech, what mods on the engine?
i'd recommend keeping the ABS. if anything, get a standalone ABS unit.

Are you also building a LS1-swapped S2K too? If so, post some pictures of it and some more info for us in a new thread.
