This looks like a really fun swap. Definatly going to be a sleeper if someone does one NA. No intercooler, someone would think it was just the rumble of a 400...if they didnt know

I stopped by PTP in Ft worth to get my coilovers corner balanced and look what they built!!!

they were trying to convince me to follow their lead as I said I wanted to turbo the 1uz... And now I think I want to swap am LS!!

Yes we're using an LQ4 (Iron block) because we know this car will end up under some boosted stess.
