I know a guy that put an ls1 in his FC. Balanced/blueprinted, and really done right. That thing is absolutely SCARY fast. I shamefully have entertained this idea for my 8 in the future.

if you've got the engine you're half way there. You'll be a hero to many if you help get this thing started.

Depends on the filter. Some aftermarket filters aren't good. There was a good filter comparo that showed how absolutely lousy the HKS and Blitz were. Soooo much garbage got through.

Hahaha I figure if these threads are gonna be lying around with no answer then someone should answer lol. So there it is it can be done and also just so you know on hinson supercars website it says they have built one and have been testing it out. Right now they are pricing parts and will be available soon.

I know you have stated a desire to "clean up the old posts on the forums" but this certainly doesn't help.

my opinion is, if you want a V8, go buy a car with a V8 in the first place.
as for hinson supercars, people knew that long time ago + there was so legal issues between that company and someone, about some stolen goods a while ago.
Guess you didn't see that part ?

Every shop has their fair share of problems. Maybe I haven't heard of the problem with Hinson. What did they do?
