If you're bored have a look at this.........
Civic with a front mount LS1, space framed rear end with a Vette six speed
transaxle gear box and double wish bone suspension.
LOL, mad man, this is the first time he tried to drift it, looks a hand full
!!
11.15sec @122mph is his best to date i think ? With slicks, Noz, cam and
headers i think ?
Drive by
This is his build thread, all 50 odd pages of it, i skimmed though most of
though.

Karan: For all the effort and expense of an E39 M5 lump swap, I'd definately go for an LS1/LS2/LS6...

Hey Andy, are you still eyeing up the LS1 - E36 conversion?
I've just got my hands on a 323 Alpina rep coupe with a fecked motor thats crying out for a swap. Think I'll chuck in an M50 2.5 for now and see how the finances progress!
