Title: Best kit for fitting LS1 to an FD?
Post by: Chris Wilson on February 12, 2010, 08:44:31 PM
I may be asked to fit a Chevy LS1 to a currently stock FD, and I believe there are various kits available. Is the car being RHD an issue? Has anyone got experience of any of these and any comments to make? Are there any good build sites for these swaps, I seem to recall one being linked to on a different forum (Supra forum, actually, but I can\'t find the link)? Has anyone done the swap using an auto box? Cheers.
