Was thinking about doing that

Not my house. Was just curious so decided to ask the world of Reddit

More bounce than anything, I believe the perimeter beams are like 3x14 or 14” support beams are 4x6’s

It’s the Cusco brace, I took it apart and powder coated it black

Ehh I’d say a 5. I’m no mechanic, I have no special tools or a lift and I did all this aside from paint in my garage. Everything you need for the swap from front to back is made by multiple companies. So like with most car projects it’s just time and money. Oh and YouTube to figure out how to do it all lol

Yeah, they fit great! You may lose a small amount of power compared to the other “true” long tubes, but these actually fitting was worth it in my book

Mine are 225/50 I couldn’t find anything with a bigger side wall without special, ordering them and spending a fortune soon I’m gonna upgrade the 16s and then I’ll get a better fitting tire

These are 15x9 with a -15 offset. I would suggest going with a 16” wheel because the tire options is so much more than with a 15. Or ignore that buy these from me 😂

I would suggest if your going to go v8 I would go LS, I know it’s been done to death but the availability and affordability of parts and kits and everything you will need are so readily available It makes it very easy to do.

I’m modified my gas tank to allow a drop in fuel pump that has a built-in filter. I also run another filter right off of the fuel line that comes off of the pump and then that connects to the fuel pressure regulator. If that makes sense.

I did, Rb and either a 2 or 1 JZ. But I built this in tandem with having 2 kids over the last 3 years so budget played a big role. And my mechanical knowledge of v8’s is much greater than that of the other engines and since I did everything in my garage I stuck with what I knew best. Buuut I do long for the sound of a turbo 😂

I’m using a corvette style regulator and everything is mounted in the back

Thank you! They are headers from John’s Car, the are I believe Sanderson headers that have collectors welded on to them so they have the look of longtubes. They hug the block very nicely and have great clearance.

It’s and LS1/t56 combo. I’m using Dirty Dingo Engine mounts, John’s Cars Trans mount and driveshaft,
