Hey everyone just thought i'd start a thread about my project ive just started, im putting an Ls1 out of either a VY or VZ SS in my VLC. Its gonna be auto cause i lost a wing in a moto accident and then im strapping a T51r to the side . The aim of all of this is to have a very tidy VLC which i can run some very nice times on the strip. Gotta have a look on ANDRA yet to see if I can run a 10 or under with 1 arm. Anyways just to kick things off ive got a few photos to throw up and then i need some help on what i need to buy to make the conversion less of a headache like; What Ls1 is the best to buy when it comes to the sump and where the bowl is so i dont have to get the sump modified? I will be getting EFI performance/mild2wild to do the conversion and turbo and everything actually, just waiting for my payout from my moto accident. And here is my mates torry where my Rb30 and auto is going if i cant sell it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Like Cameron said Scotty, you will need more than "2" arm's to hold this combo straight on the street. Looking forward to this build, i know of another customer doing a LS1 turbo combo.......... You selling everything off Scott or??

hahahahaha yeah it will be a challenge thats for sure but i reckon im up for it Yeah selling engine A8 complete, auto and everything to make it run. 3" mandrel bent exhaust is for sale aswell. Oh yeah i cant wait to get me money so i can get it under way. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey does anyone know what power steering rack will fit in a LC/J torry???

thats gonna be one strong arm man, good luck, ls1's in vl's are the shiz. hope u're getting a big payout, (probably are considering u've lost a wing). i was turned off putting a ls1 into a bmw 535 recently, 10k quotes turned into 15k quotes, so now im over it. that torana and ur engine conversion should go well.

Yeah man should be enough for a lot of things including a house hopefully. hahahaha yeah my arms already pretty strong seeing how i do EVERYTHING with it now lol, but i was sliding the calais around in the wet with 1 arm alright but be interesting to see how all this goes. Just cant wait to get it started, stripping the rest of the bay tomoz and getting it all cleaned up ready to do some hole filling and sanding Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ls1 is a GREAT Start, lol

LOL, I have been for a run in a certain LS1 with a T51R. Absolute snooser combination for a street engine. Enough engine capacity to bring the 51 on nice and early and enough flow to make some great power.
