We very recently had this exact same topic. www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58997&highlight=spent ::dead horse:: .

I figured as much...but thought I'd mention it (in case you'd bumped your head recently and/or were suffering from temporary insanity).:biglaugh: ^

A little advice from a guy who's been married a long time (a couple of times): You're probably gonna be better off if you re-word that when you talk to the little women.:icon_razz

You're probably right, I was trying to recall the spec from memory (:nono:)... and didn't want to sound optimistic. So maybe even the LSX (iron block) would be enough weight savings to attain 50/50 weight distribution. That would be great, since the LS7 (alloy block) is pretty expensive...

wiisass and onejoezee have said just about everything I was thinking with regard to this swap (and some of the things I was thinking about some of the dissenting comments). Weight and weight distribution can only be positively affected by this swap. Because the LS engine is going to be...

I religously warm the car up until I see the temp gauge move up (water temp, not oil temp).

koni yellow's and straight wound springs (avoid progressive wound springs like the plague).

mmmmmm....why do people say stuff like this? :3d_frown:

I don't know if it was the "right" ra, but I've lapped the deck by hand on a friend of mines car. It took us a whole day and I wouldn't recommend it, but it's been at least a couple of years and his mhg is still holding with around 13 or 14lbs of boost. Frankly, I'm kind of amazed it's...

You sure know how to hurt a guy. :icon_bigg

...and you can graft a MKIV front end on it and make it look more like a 93.:sarcasm:

245/50's are as wide as you should go on stock rims, but I have heard 265's will fit, but there are some sidwall issues w/regard to safety and performance. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU SHIT FOR TYPING IN CAPS.

Every OEM tem cartridge I've ever seen has KYB stamped on it.

I haven't, unless you count pilot error. No, no, no, my friend. I've seen plenty of LS1's, built, balanced and blue printed, running big shots of Nos and holding together shockingly well, especially considering some of the mullet wearing yahoo's driving them. If only that were true...

That's how I have always felt but: When you look at the cost of an LSX or and LS1 and you consider the reliability, the weight, and the cheap mega horsepower available, not to mention how well they respond to Nos, it's hard not to consider it...especially if you want to go drag racing...

Ehhhhhh.....Not me.....(eyes darting back and forth about the room).

That was cruel...I got all jacked-up when I thought it was a MKIII. But seriously...that is badass.

Agreed, but I haven't seen any completed projects. LS anything... Some intrepid, well healed, adventurer might do it. Let's face it, alot of us have known guys that spent a lot more than that on hookers and coke. Seems like a solid investment when you look at it that way.:biglaugh:

I've been doing some searching, and while I've been able to locate some LS builds, none of the Supras I was able to find were completed. I'm sure someone must have a good running completed example of an LS(fill in the number or letter x), right??? Lots of attempts and different points of...
