Too many people are doing ls1 these days. Want something a bit different and have a xr6t sitting in my garage.

Good luck with this, how long do you think it will take?

Also are you going for registered + engineered street car, or track only?

[project 33 barra]

Subbed for that extra pressure

Joking aside, I hope to see this finished and registered soon.

Depends if you are handy with a welder as i doubt theres any off the shelf brackets for that conversion.

Not having ever really looked at where the barra mounts are i would sit the motor + box in the car where you want them to sit, then bolt a steel plate where the factory engine mount bracket bolts to, and one onto the old engine mount. I would then measure or template the space in between the two plates and cut either some more steel plate or some box section to fit snug in the space and tack them while they are still in the car. Weld together and away you go.

The mounts are exactly the same style so hoping to keep with the original style mount and maybe adjust the k frame to suit. So that if anything happens to the mount i can buy an off the shelf part. It may be wishfull thinking but without it in there it actually measures pretty close.

Fair enough, that would make it heaps easier. Doubt they would sit at the same angle but you never know...

Yeh i think i may have to drop and box out some of the k frame but only time will tell.

[Burger]

What box are you planning to use?
