LeeM Posted 9January, 2018 Report Share Posted 9January, 2018 @MrRPJ They only build a few when they get enough orders. I contacted them last year, and they said they need 15 orders or something crazy like that, then sent me a different price to what's on their website, then you have to add the shift rod to the price. Freight was crazy too, and think it ended up being nearly $2000AUD all up. Pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked for a used on on pelican? I haven't looked lately, as the prices scared me off. There is a mob on Instagram, ROCS MOTORSPORT who fitted one to a customers car. Bit of mucking around with it to use the stock 911 handbrake, but you might be ok with your build. They look awesome, but no idea how good they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 22February, 2018 Report Share Posted 22February, 2018 Fantastic work. It is really starting to come together. Although with the AMG in the background looking light in the front, are you thinking of a different V8 swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although with the AMG in the background looking light in the front, are you thinking of a different V8 swap? Haha, I wish. to get the car engineered here the limit is weight x5 for an aspirated engine and turbos or superchargers are x2.5 so the biggest I can go is a 5.8l so I fit the biggest i could a 5.7. My Benz is a 5.5l supercharged haha it would blow drive shafts, boxes and prob rip the mounts out of the floor its a real animal. Originally I was going to run a non-supercharged version of my motor the M113 but its a can bus system and too much of a wiring nightmare. so that's why it doest have a euro v8. The LS is small, lighter than a 3.0, and plug and play with a stack of aftermarket bits from sumps to intake manifolds. The Benz was up because it sucked in an oring in from the timing cover and mixed the radiator with the sump. it looked like a blown headgasket. 1 week later and i had it fully rebuilt and back in All fixed a week later and a few bloody knuckles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 23February, 2018 Report Share Posted 23February, 2018 Wow. That looks like quite a project getting that engine out, stripped and back in again. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 23February, 2018 Report Share Posted 23February, 2018 When you see a modern quad-cam V8 you understand why the LS motors are valued for being so compact and easy to stuff anywhere. I doubt you could fit that benz engine in anything but a big car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRPJ Posted 10March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 10March, 2018 the car needs to come up about an inch. once i pull the motor for a rebuild ill fit the rear hump sump. it will sit 140mm from the ground and have a bash plate covering it like i did with the gear box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRPJ Posted 22March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 22March, 2018 More updates, isnt that cradle a sexy bit of gear. Makes dropping the motor and box a 30 min job. All alloy hard lines have be made, Davies craig water pump installed, And the biggest heaviest AGM battery i could find installed. 40kgs actually! Mainly for having a big capacity for electric AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 22March, 2018 Report Share Posted 22March, 2018 Why do you need a big battery for electric ac? I don't remember having to change mine when I did it on e9- just the alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember having to change mine when I did it on e9- just the alternator A few reasons. First is weight to the front I'm trying add. Secondly, it's better to have a decent supply of power then run short then rely on the alternator to make up for the loss. same as better have money in the bank then live week to week. In case you have a big draw. I'll also be running the 993 HIDs and big electric fuel pump and 8 high output coils and a bigger electric ac compressor, twin 10" thermos and high output waterpump with computer controller and I'm not to sure if I want to tint my windows yet so I want a compressor that's overkill then not enough and have average ac Thirdly it was on sale at a great price 850cca AGM for $300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the ls motor I’m trying to keep the car looking all Porsche and not a Frankenstein. Hopefully it does the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
