Talking Got my engineswap in a magazine

When I started my project over a year ago I contacted one of Swedens major magazines, Wheels Magazine (They are like Hot Rod/Carcraft), and asked if they were interested in doing a story on this. They thought it was a great idea now when LSx engines finds its way in to many cars in our hobby. I know of at least 5 other cars in various stages of conversion and a few others are already running.

Anyway yesterday the January issue came out and I got a five page coverage on how to do a LSx engine swap. The article is very informative and I mention some companies that have kits for this, even though I made most of my stuff myself. ATS, Speed & Performance, Ricks HotRodShop and others get some promotion.

I even sneaked in a few pictures from the Lateral-G party were Tony and Allen got their noses in a magazine

You should be very proud. This helps others considering making the engine change. Plus you can show it to the kid, when you are old man. Good work.
