Re: Lsvx-t
What are the fittings you used for the steering rack? My lines are all corroded to hell and if I can replace them with -AN's that would be pretty sweet.

They are generic 14 and 16mm iring fittings. Not sure if they will work with the svx rack. I'm running the quick ratio 15 sti rack. I've got a part# around somewhere

Giday Tom, what box and rear end are you thinking of using behind that engine?

Tr6060 6 speed from 5th gen camaro. Currently going to run 350z r200 with axles and full suspension w/ spindles in the rear. Hoping it will hold up but if it breaks I am sure I can manage something on the back end pretty simply now that I have removed the factory fuel tank and have loads of room to work with. Good to hear from you Harvey

Re: Lsvx-t
Any weight targets? How does your motor/tranny compare to stock, weightwise? I recall hearing that LS motors are not that heavy.

Re: Lsvx-t
Is this build for the track only or will it be on the streets too?

Bit of both although it will definitely not be a car you would want to drive on the street for very long lol

The engine is for sure about 80-100 lbs heavier but more than half of that is cut by the light weight transmission. So overall I would imagine an additional 60lbs heavier drivetrain wise. I might have lost weight in the rear of the car with the aluminum subframe from the Nissan. What's most important is that the engine is so much further back now that it's mostly behind the front axle which should help in the balance. I will get it weighed in eventually
