I am officially committed to an LS swap :).
I will post up pictures as it goes along. The donor car is a 2005 corvette with an ls2 and t56 roughly 120000 km's on it. It was an insurance write off and has no body or interior left on it which makes it easy to get at a lot of things. Having the whole car makes so many things easier to swap and modify.

I have started tearing down the factory harness and have the motor ready to pull out when time allows. I'm planning on using as many factory parts as possible. Including the exhaust if it fits. The corvette rad and ac confessor will fit perfectly in the stock X location. I am pretty busy (baby on the way) and likely won't have it up and running till next spring but will update my progress.

Very interesting and looking forward to updates. If I keep my X long term, this is definitely the way to go. Especially since I have an LS in everything else I drive, LOL.

I have had my x since 2007 now and have spent so much time and money on it that it doesn't seem to make sense to sell it.

We could make this a race.....

Who will win?

Who will get done first?

1GR 16.0?

1GR, 1GR, 1GR, 1GR, 1GR > LS swap bi-turbo?

Or the new comer, 1GR, 1GR > LS swap??

Man, if I still had my contact at Quantum Techstar we could make a TV show out of this!!!
