Ok.. I can only keep this under wraps for so long... but I might as well let the cat out of the bag... Mast Motorsport 416 LS3 with a RPM Transmission Stage 5 Road race T56... Tonight we put in the 4.10 gears!

We did this LS conversion in 2 weeks... My crew was busting ass to get it done! We just felt that we would not have gotten the Ford motor rebuilt in time..

Now that is excellent. Love the bastardizing. :D

You got time for any road course shakedown down there?

Here are some pics of the set up stage... It is a good thing I have set up motors with T56 transmissions...

Special thanks to Chris Durate @ Mast Motorsports for getting me a engine & Jeremy @ RPM Transmission for getting key parts out ASAP..

Carl @ Vaporworks was a key player to the conversion.. He got the Ford fuel system to work for us! & Ken Whitney my wiring guy!

In other words, it would have been no match for the LSx engine.:unibrow:

Thanks for the props guys! It was a pretty simple swap for us.. Fabricate engine & trans mounts... The union of the clutch master cylinder & power steering was easy.. We have plenty of custom fitting to make unions..

The shifter was a challenge & so was running lines to my oil cooler.. but we only designed & machined one piece... Mast makes a great oil pan... I have about three in stock... but they did not give enough room for fittings to headers.. When you work with -10 or -12 fittings .. you run out of room... So we designed this remote oil filter adapter.. It takes it to a Earl's remote oil filter adapter with thermostat.. then to the cooler.. & then returns oil back to the engine..
