So far I have $52000. invested just in the LSX 438ci twin turbo engine, G50-G96 upgraded transaxle built to handle 1000 hp and the GTM kit. I’m probably not going to use a donor car unless I find a real low milage car. The thought of using worn out parts with the amount of power I’ll have available at the wheels just doesn't make sense. All new Parts minus the brakes is another $ 11,000 give or take and don’t forget the Wilwood brakes, body work, paint, interior, wheels and tires, I can option out the kit by adding cold air roof intake, A/C, custom exhaust, Gauges, stereo, seating etc.
I’m afraid to continue…
