    Here is my build that is very close to being completed and thought I would share. Car is a Sn95. Hasn't run in four years. I was originally going to build a 4 valve modular motor but I decided to build a house so that put it on hold and I sold all the parts I gathered up. I was tired of the car not running so I decided to put a budget build together. Didn't want to do this but decided to put a LS motor in it. This is only temporary. Eventually a Coyote engine will go in.

    -Stock 5.3 with new rings
    -Head studs with LS7 head gasket
    -S375 turbo
    -4L80E trans rebuilt with 3400 triple disk yank converter

    Exterior shot of the car. Huge thanks from my friend Brian with Wise Motorsports for letting the car be worked on at his shop and all the fabrication he did.

    Decided to use stock k-member and ran adapter plates for motor mount. Had to notch k member to clear oil pan. Made a crossmember for the transmission.

    Relay kit from Current Performance which made things easy to wire.

    Made my own wiring harness out of the factory harness. Got rid of all the crap I didn't need. Wiring is time consuming!

    Transmission cooler mounted on front bumper support. Fog light hole will allow good air flow.

    For a cleaner look and to stay away from heat mounted coils on the bottom of the K Member.

    Hopefully running this weekend. Fighting some problems with PCM and tuning software but I think I have it figured out. Biggest set back is from my 20an hose ends for the radiator. Several brand new fittings leaking. :swear: I think I have fixed it my own way but set me back a good month.
