I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.  One question.  Why a de-stroked LS?  Are you trying to come in under a certain displacement?

I was wondering the same thing.

Last destroked LS7 I saw involved all of the RPM. It made wonderful noises spinning that fast too.

But less torques. And torques are like the  boobs of the engine  performance world,

That is a solid argument.

Maybe thats important with an ugly face, but did you see the rest of the body!

The green body, not the "booby" one.

Yeah I was assuming it was for an oversquare bore/stroke.

A Destroked LS7 can rev, and that is what I'm after. Yes I'll lose Torque, but having 600hp and 400 ftlb isn't slow... and the car weights in at 2300 lbs. I don't need or want it to be a torque monster. 

Sorry for the long time frame between the last post and today. 

Been working on the Engine. And got that all stripped down. It will stay that way until everything is Mocked up, its just easier to move a 110 lbs block. 

Also started to square away the shipping of the Rolling chassis. 

Well done that man,

Subscribed. Totally awesome project. I've dreamed many times different iterations of this same project. I wish you good luck with your 1/1 scale model assembly. It won't be cheap or easy to complete this build but at the end of the day you'll have one of the most visceral and compelling front engine/ rear wheel drive sports cars available at any price. Personally I'm partial to the SpeedSix motor but I totally understand why you and several others in UK have opted for the LS motor.

Any updates?

I know of a fully running TVR Sagaris in California.

Where?

Is that a Sagaris chassis?

As I understand, the Tuscan and other “T” cars had the suspension pick up points in a slightly different location.

Hey man! It's probably quite a time later but do you have the information of the person you sold the Shell to? I'd really love to buy it.
