Again its been a while! I've bought a new works premises and its taken ages to transfer everything over but I'm back at it plugging away.
I've made a major change in that the used 6 litre LS2 is now history and I have replaced it with a brand new LS3 525hp crate engine, I paid
extra for a factory ECU and wiring loom that has a certified 525hp GM map so should be plug and play. It will be drive by wire throttle too
Man maths told me that it would be quicker to swap the engine rather than spend time mapping the old Omex ecu, the old engine would have probably
made 450hp.
Its backend high in the above pic as I pumped the rear end up too high, the air system isnt finished yet sol I used a foot pump.
I also bought a new Tremec T56 magnum which I converted to the old type T56 rear end so all I had to change was the propshaft yoke

Clever idea making it internal to keep it quiet, makes it look neater too.

Thats cool. I enjoyed the journey so far.
i had one mate with one running a tricked out 2.3 his brother got from a crashed race car when the rest of us were stuffing whatever engines fitted into RWD Escorts.
