LSx into a S197

[tamatt27]

I'd like to shout-out to Jim from JimTune! He called me out of the blue after reading the issues we were having with getting it running and he made a few suggestions. Well, thanks Jim! The 'Vette fuel filter/regulator fixed the issue and.......IT LIVES!!!!!!

It sounds like a Chevy. We'll have to call it Frankenstang.

Sounds pretty awesome. You should name it something ironic. Frankenstang is good but Vettekiller would be pretty funny I think. I did just see that Project LS197 lol thats pretty fitting.

I like

Hell of a hot rod!

 

[SilentScope]

I approve of the win

 

[tamatt27]

Thanks guys! There's still some small things I've got to take care of this weekend, but I'll post more pics and vids in the days to come...

Hell yeah! get some speedometer videos

 

[bmaxwell]

And get to the track!

I got the interior and exterior bits put back together. The interior is still filthy...that will get fixed after some test runs. I got the PLX OBD-II wifi adapter and DashCommand for iPad. Also installed stripes on the Roush wing and put Xenon side scoops on.

My Optima crapped out on me while the car was sitting, so I'll have to get another battery tomorrow and take some more vids...

Quarter window scoops are next, right ?

Damn guy I want a Ipad setup like that...Does it look clean when it is removed or is it bare metal and what not from where the radio was? Clean ride and deff different

 

[tamatt27]

Just a few part-throttle runs.....

 

[gil_t2]

Very good job

 

[SilentScope]

that ipad has me wanting to do it so bad

How does the motor feel compared to the 4.6?

 

[bmaxwell]

I am so jealous of this swap

It still needs to be tuned.....and I haven't given it all the balls yet, but it def feels faster. Of course it's been 4 1/2 months since I drove the 4.6...so it'll take some more seat time to really get used to it. All I know it I'm very happy!
On a side note, I didn't realize how well the side scoops complimented the Roush spoiler.....I'm not completely sold on side window scoops yet...

edit: sorry, wrong thread.

That is just sick...
