Good to see you're still around......interested in what your Project will be

I think I have a good local guy from Facebook who has a 96 roller I'll probably pick up. Thinking of throwing an ls dry sump in it. Eventually I'll build a a turbo or s/c depending on costs etc for it. I'd like to put roughly 600 to the rear wheels long term goal. Obviously there will be a lot of custom fab work to make it happen but that's what projects are for! Great to hear from you Huck. I see your posts on FB from time to time but I tend to just lurk on the web these days

I like "beyond eccentricity" myself. Makes 'em pause for a sec.

Tom, are there many other LS-swapped SVXs out there? Personally, I'm looking for a nice stock one, but can appreciate a properly-done swap. Would love to see some.

[TomsSVX]

I only know of one ever done. Not a whole lot of info available and from what I have heard it was parted out? Who knows.

Currently I have completed the rear subframe from a 350z install and have the rear suspension done so long as I can find a lock collar for my struts. Front suspension is done besides the sway bar but with no front axles I have plenty of room for that. Front x-member is nearly done, just need to refill my argon tanks and get the sway bar figured in. Trans looks like it is in perfect position with everything pushed back as far as I dare it puts the shift linkage exactly where I need it. Will need to make up a trans cross member which should be pretty simple. Once that's done I gotta get a flange adapter for the tran output and get a custom driveshaft made. Then it'll be strictly engine... Intake, fuel system, ems, and cooling. There's also the cage I need to build but I did get a good tubing bender which should make it a little easier. Slow progress is better than no progress
