Props to the guy who is doing this. That is some serious work.

I would have personally kept the vette.

I hope the seats are waterproof. Whoever rides in that hawg is going to sweat their balls off with the engine sitting on their lap

other than the dash being 3 feet back from stock it is an interesting idea.

This is my new favorite LS1 swap. People put them in RX-7s, S2000s, Miatas, BMWs, Volvos...but I've never seen one in a Civic! I can only imagine the look on some people's faces after this guy goes roaring by their "fast" cars on the highway with his rear wheels spinning and smoking.

After reading through most of the 21 pages, that's pretty damn sweet! His build reminds me of something you would've seen on Monster Garage (when it was on). Completely insane, but at the same time, quite incredible.

Eh, maybe a mod will fix them, or you could post them again correctly.

I tried again, but had to delete the post - I guess when you copy & paste the links from the website, they aren't on there correctly to begin with.

That thing is just plain insane. It reminds me of my plastic car model making days when I'd drop a Boss 429 in a mini truck or something crazy like that. But this is full size. Just sick.
