Keep us posted. I can't wait to see it done.
actually, most of the extra weight from the swap is in the T56 trans, not so much in the motor setup so the weight is down low in the middle of the car. the T56 is straight beefy compared to the nissan transmission. the SR with turbo setup and such probably only weighs slightly less than the LS1 alone, although i don't have any scales around that go that high to find out. my goal is to get the motor as low and far back as possible, within reason of course. started some mounts tonight in the short time i had to work on it, i'll get pictures up shortly.
as for the question about times, i'm not building it as a drag car but i'm sure it'll see the strip at some point.... should be a pretty quick car even with the stock LS1 in it.
