Car Info: Big Thanks Jeremy@CrucialRacing and Ed@EQ-Tuning
Nice! I not an avid drag racer, but doesn't mean I won't support people who are. Only thing I don't care about are "expensive for the sake of expensive" dyno/show queens...I want any project car to actually get used and abused in one manner or another
And I didn't realize that about the LSx/T56 combo...no wonder people stuff these in just about anything

spoken like a true car enthusiast thanks man, i feel the same way about project cars, and this car will def be used for what its built for haha
but not really a fan dyno/show queens my self, they have their moments
LSx and T56 combo is actually very light, this swap on the IS300 might actually have bettter center gravity or more balance since the LSx is pushed back closer to the fireball and sits alot lower,
yea its a great engine trans combo, reliable too

Im gonna go ahead and claim a 2JZ swap + tranny is more expensive than the LS1/T56 @ 400whp for both. Is this true? Depends on how much CL/forum you lurk for deals, or how **** you are about car building.
How'd you take care of the steering shaft? Is the stock x-member on? How's cooling?
I would love to get into something like this. I love V8s and I love imports.

it just has a custom motor mounts that bolts on stock cross member, cooling is just a normal large radiator like the koyo works fine
GoDynamics is just starting off, but very motivated to learn and improve on their fabrication, everyone has to start somewhere
if your interested let me know, they can help you out
never hah jk
those guys are pretty crazy and wreckless, but entertaining
LSx FD is badass, my good buddy of mine Sonny a master tech at the old school Rotary Extreme,was one of the first to do a LSx on the FD chassis
ask your buddy if he needs anything custom work done for this LSx FD
thanks
