15000+ if u cant do much yorself any more questions, dont PM me, go talk to a mechanic ...wardy...

if your not mechanically minded/have the skills to back it up dont bother...unless you got more $$$ than cents

do something u can do, like turbo the vk 202 efi make more power than the gen3 EASY! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im either think of dropping a gen 3 in an lc 2 door or a vl turbo donk but cant make my mind up as what would be more fun. 5.7tr 6 spd or an auto backed rb30.

[QUOTE] True, an lc with a gen 3 with ls1 edit would be a hell of a handful to drive i'd imagine. But if you have the money to put a ls1 in a lc but turbo power is more your thing then why not a modded rb26? May be easier to engineer as well.

just the LS1 engine itself costs like $7000 i think?

I would like to one day (if I ever get the money....) drop an LS7 into a HT/HK Monaro, and/or a Viper 8.3L V10 into a Valiant Charger...

i was leaning towards an edited ls1 with cam and 6 spd. not only would i fly in a car lighter by 500kg but the fuel economy in a light car would be awesome and u would think more reliable than a 20 yr old rb30

go the ls1 into a torry sir5.7!! I am doing a EFI 5.0L into a VK at the moment, but I'd love after that to do like, a newest engine in a torry, new school meets old school sorta thing LS2 = 300kw, in a 500kg car with decent traction u'd get some serious times, and thats with a stock engine...then do whatever work you want....theres no stopping it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i wanna make it totally streetable and run low 10s and still be able to drive to sydney and back thats why i want to go an extremely light lc (1150kg). my vk will run low 9s high 8s but not really streetable and the vk grp 3 and vn grp a cut low 13s and low 14s respectively which is boring

lol i hear ya sir5.7! just being able to drive to the track, put down a few 10second runs then have absolutely no hassles driving it back home...I'd love to be able to say I could do that Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
