Been down today to the workshop today. we think it will fit with abit of panel work. The turbo will need a brace , due to it weighting in around 18 - 20kgs!

Quote: but LS1 motors come with thier known faults too. Many issues such as once they start to wear a little/get a few k's on the clock, they start burning/using ALOT of oil, plus a few others i dont have exact details about so i can't really explain them properly without sounding like a douche The LS1 in my VY has done nearly 200,000 kms and doesn't use any oil.
