    russ81.
    Nice work indeed and much love gone into your beast.
    I've trolled the thread but haven't seen any fuel economy figures. I may have missed it.
    Do you know what your fuel figures are with the LS2? I've heard lots of waffle, but no clarification.
    I'd love to know a price as I've priced up a plug-in kit from Marks, plus an LS3 crate motor, but would be interested in the cost of your conversion.
    How'd engineering go? Any issues?

    Be beaut to see you out and about, but a long way to travel

    Hows it going Lieney

    Cheers,
    Currently im averaging 20L/100km. The economy is the same on or off road, hwy and city, towing and unladen, this however will not be the final figure, everything is currently set up to get passed through the pits. Once passed the engine will be retuned, o2 sensors re mapped and exhaust changed, so it will get better. As for the engineering I had no issues, the engineer was keep informed the whole way through the build and told me his requirements, so i just followed that to the T the final inspection took 15 mins and I am currently awaiting the report.
