Man is that ugly.

But seriously though, as stated, my ls1 fits under the stock hood no problem. I looked into getting a vented hood like the Scoot hood, and that I don't think would fit, but the stock one does just fine.

no that looks like a 13b! thank god its not a 3rotor..... what a sad sad day that would be if you poped the hood of this "muscle car" and there was a 3rotor staring back at you! i think i had a nightmare just like this it needs an LS1 in there though

RotorMotor, humor me and measure the dimensions of your 20B. I'll head down to the garage and measure the dimensions of my LT1. $5 says it's smaller, sits lower and farther back in the chassis, and weighs less than your boat anchor...

you dont have to tell me that... this is info i already know the 20b is a freakin pig! then add in the intercooler, and all that silly stuff and now i have an obesity problem! the only reason i picked the 20b was for the relative "ease" hahahahaha of instalation. im by no means a very skilled mechanic / parts fabricator so i wanted something somewhat straight forward (what a joke huh?). anyway, most of the parts needed for a 20b conversion are availible, and it bolts up to the factory tranny. i think there is less fabrication w/ the 20b though. all i need to make is a downpipe and intercooling tubing. im not sure whose engine is "better" because if i were to get the 20b to match your power, you could always go FI. its a never ending chase.....i think a v8 would be able to make more RELIABLE power at vey high HP levels though. anyway, i was just poking fun... when i saw the car i thought of you!

BTW any word on another run of those bushings? later, heath
