well... i wish i could have done a LSx type motor.. but i can see spending the money on the trans to hold it.. if you get over 350hp.. you need to run a mendeola trans.. which start.. yes start at $10,000 .. and if you get to 600 or 800.. your lookin at $25000 for a trans..:spank::spank:

soo ive been thinkin about this for months.. and finaly desided to go with a lnf 2.0 ecotec turbo motor from a colbalt SS.. there just sooo light!! there only like 260lbs or something around there and make 268hp stock! soo thats what im doin :) basily im tryin to keep the whole thing as light as possible and see if i can hang with some of there bigger ballers out there.. theres make 400 to 1000hp.. but some of them weight 3000lbs... im going to keep mine under 1500lbs :buds:

Bad ass project! That Cobalt engine should work good. They make good power with bolt ons and a tune. :thumbsup:

the trans would probably live with a 400hp 4cyl longer than a 400hp 6-8

ahh yes.. your right.. only one problem.. i would go reallllly fast in rev.. and not so fast in forward.. sence the motor is in the rear and faces the rear..
 
That is the nicest timing belt cover I have ever seen on a EJ25.

btw, 275hp on a twin turbo EJ25 (255 or 257) is pathetic.

Yeah but it's half of the porsche transaxles most guys use. That's still the pricey part of the Ultima or SLC (whichever I end up building). We'll see when the time comes.

you cant just eliminate the torque tube on a corvette trans axle to get it to work?!?

The rotations the wrong direction he would have to get a motor that was ccw for it to work or turn the engine set-up around but how that chassis looks its built for a rear facing motor (front of engie is at the rear of chassis trans would be towards the front.)

the slick think would be if someone came out with a diff assm. for the vette setup that would let you do that
