Very nice indeed. Sure look forward to more...

I know what you are talking about regarding moving the engine as far back as possible. That will give you a very nice weight distribution. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I know what I speak of...







Your setup will be quite amazing. I have roughly about the same horsepower in my TR6 - perhaps a little less on the RPM's but overall the weight distribution will be about the same. Please, keep adding more photos of your build!I

Where are you located?

Is that an Ecotec? How do you like it? I've been wanting to put one in something but with individual throttle bodies. I'm in Fort Collins, CO. Oh, I just now saw the exterior pic of your car. Were there build pics on the British V8 site or something? It looks familiar.

Yes indeed, this is the 2.4L Ecotec. it is a very nice engine and I am extremely pleased with it.. VVT and a fully re-programmable ECM - makes for a nice toy to play with. I've removed the rev limiter and have no problems going to 7500 revs; maybe not as high as 9k but then again it has a nicer torque curve. Either way, both these engines should propel an LBC very nicely.

Please post more pictures. I sure look forward to more!
