sweet. theres been a bagillion LS1 swaps on these cars. glad to see an H'd/C'd LS2 finally go into one of these cars. wouldve loved to see it in a coupe' though.

the boys over on the LSX board would probably appreciate this car more than these stubborn V12 huggers.

That's a great looking car, and the mods were very well executed. I would love to have that much space in my engine bay.

Default springs for rear

We are debating what springs to put on the rear, we tried the original, but they were shot. I heard DB7 ones might be great or should I just buy original XJS ones?
