I'm not as mechanically knowledgable as some of you, so just school me if I'm wrong. I thought the F20C rotates the reverse as the majority of engines?

Is that before or after the frontal lobotomy, Alex?!

Please tell me that it really isn't true that you took a 230hp golf cart out on a texas highway. OMFG!

Oh yeah! Well my friends and I decided to forget a budget, any amount of money can be spent now! This means high boost, and a small shot of Nitrous! Alex, feel like living with me for a few months to help me out with this? I'll try to help with the LS6, but I am not very good with electrical wiring, which will suck with my project. I not only plan to run 200-plus HP, I will also have TV's, and big sound system, and a mini-fridge!

Oh yeah! It'll have at least a 6-inch lift, but they make 13-inch lifts for them, that would allow me to run 18" spinners!!! This thing will definately be PIMP! I am molding in some Altezza Tailights to piss off my American Muscle loving friends. This will be the most awesome cart...but I only have 2 months to complete it.

Trent,

Wouldn't you rather restore a mid-'60s 6-cyl E-type for your friendly neighborhood Chazmo?!

Good luck, bud.

Trent, the hardest part is to be sure you stay within your bounds. For the LS6 swap in my S2000, I know I can not do it myself (especially the electrical, but also the custom fabrication), so I put my ego aside and let a shop do it for me. It really sucks when you set such high standards, only to find out you can not meet them (due to lack of resources, finances, or more commonly - skill).

It's one helluva project and I wish you good luck. Of course, I and all the other 's are always here to help you out.


With the LS6, the hard part is not the actual wiring itself, but it's the driveability that the wiring effects. It's a ball buster.



BTW, Chaz, yes we did take that 230hp golf kart out on HWY-6. It's only a golf kart frame, but seriously reinforced at that. There was no roll cage, not even a roll bar. We only decided to put on a seatbelt after the first few 85mph passes.

Alex, I know I can't do the custom fabrication(axles, motor mounts, etc.) myself, that'll be done by someone else, but putting it all together will be a job! I'll have to have someone come over and help me with the wiring, that'll be the hardest part.
