No problem. It's kind of hidden so most people don't know about it. ;)

I have one. 2000 LS1 + cam + springs + software mods

I love it. It's been on the road for a few weeks short of a year and it's the longest the car has run trouble free.

Plus its faster and sounds better.

I can't remember now what shop it was that would do the LS1 conversion...But I think it was around 8k...is that what you did? post photos if you got 'em.

Thanks,

www.hinsonsupercars.com has most of the items needed for the swap.

Most ppl I know have done the swap themselves using a portion of Hinson's products.

IronDonut, wingsfan, and myself all did the swap ourselves. I leaned on them some for help along the way.

I also used a hinson subframe.

Mine's (LS1/T56) been running essentially problem free since December, which is the longest stretch I've gone without breaking something.

My drivetrain conversion parts came from Hinson. My cooling, fuel, and the wiring (and any problems associated with them) is all my own damn fault. ;)

99 LS1 in a 94 Touring....
Mods still to come.

all i am lacking is a drive shaft...but that's easy.

2jz-gte (MKIV Supra TT engine)

mods on their way in the mail:
Greddy 3 Row Intercooler
HKS 264 intake/exhaust
SP71GTQ Turbo Kit

should put down an easy 600-700 rwhp :-D

getting there!

I'll like it when it's done. Or so I hope.

2000 nissan maxima v-6
6-speed manual transmission (from a 350z).

Misc other parts from various cars. Mostly nissan.

My daily driver just through an apex seal so the swap must be finished soon. I hate driving my truck (usually only used in winter)
