        Something cool finally pops up in WI shweet. Please tell me this is going in a clean plastic bumpered car and not diving boards.

        No joke!

        All the other builds on here are total bullshit, even the other LS swapped cars

          Thanks gents, wasn't too sure what feedback I would get. Seems a lot of people jump shit for putting a GM motor in these cars. I'm just looking for that reliable 400whp vs my old high strung m20 running 18psi just waiting for the headgasket to let loose.

              Cool build, you get credit for trying the turbo m20 setup first too. You and Kaiser should also check out Lacrosse's autocross events, I put them on the calendar this year.

                  Really cool build. Looks like a nice car too. There's actually a couple of us with GMW's around here.

                      No build thread. I actually bought it swapped to save both time and money. Lots of changes coming soon. Currently is a stock LS with t56. Power is ok, I have a built ls1(block and crank are literally the only things left stock) going in that will be good for another honest 100whp. Things ended up getting really expensive really fast haha.

                        Yeah before you know it you've spent 4K and still need another 1k in parts...but half the fun is making it work and figuring it out.

                                          Time is my bottleneck right now. My car is plumbing and wiring away from running.

                                          It would be fun to get some people together - grill out drink beers and get it running though.
