Another small update the accessory’s arrived today ls6 water pump, tensioner, compressor and CTS-V alternator. Also got the 90mm ls7 throttle body in and ported out. I will be ordering headers from Hinson Monday hopefully there are no issues with that, and I’m Still waiting on the Transmission from the dealer. I just need those two things to show up so I can start fabricating the mounts.

Good choice. They can make a lot of power and the heads breathe really well. It would be my choice of engine as well. Plus no "LSx tax."

My ported LS2 Intake came in today! Still waiting on the oil pan, Headers, Crank trigger bracket and transmission.

Has anyone bought anything from Hinson Lately?

I think BH Factory that is doing the LS2 swap in the other thread used some of Hinsons kit. I think TF Works did as well on the S2 LS swap they did. If I'm not mistaken both had to modify the Hinson parts though.
You may want to contact them to see if they can provide any useful info on their builds and what they may have needed to modify.

I'm not using the hinson kit I just want the 1 7/8" longtube headers they sell. Since Stainless Works won't sell them anyone but hinson I have no choice but to wait for Brian at Hinson to call me back.

I have a tig and a header building kit, but I don't have the extra time it takes to build them. I thought about it tough and it might still happen if I can’t get them from Hinson.

I guess he couldn't deliver that promise? If so, that's too bad. I never got to see a complete LS swapped RX8 in person.

Could it be ?

Did some research on a L33 swap and somehow this showed up , not sure if it’s the same person but after watching the videos and post had to share this , in my opinion sounds f*n insane 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥🔥 great built and work , although this website post was nearly 3 years ago but it shows a complete L33 build
