I recently had a Corvette with the LS3 6.2 for the weekend.... big silly grins all round. What a noise.

450hp in a plastic rear-wheel-drive car with leaf springs too, almost as basic as a Defender

Nick - our LS1 came as 410bhp - it is a Turnkey engine purchased direct from the States.... Also known as LS1/6 (ie. it is an LS1 with some bits from the LS6). It is also blueprinted.

We run it with a 4L80e 4 speed autobox which is a good match - very strong. For the shifter we have a B&M Megashift which is mechanical rachet sequential ... (also all purchased from the States...) Our blog - http://landytravels.com/
