I guess I'm far enough along to start a build thread. The motor is a 2003 lq4 6 liter out of a Denali. Its basically a cast iron LS1. I mated it to a turbo 400 trans and i'm installing a ford 8.8 in the rear. I uses 2009 charger brakes up front with redrilled hubs and just the stock ford stuff in the rear. Wheels are just rattle canned 17" charger steelies. Injection will be handled by megasquirt because they want way too much money for the hack for the stock ecu.
I have built a lot of cars mostly turbo 4 banger stuff so I thought it was time for a chage. I am also doing this on a crazy tight budget. My original plan was to go turbo right off the bat but I recently found out I'm going to be a dad so it's going to stay NA for awhile.....but it makes around 340hp 380tq stock so it wont be that slow. I might try to sneak in a ls6 cam if I can score one for cheap.
