I heard LS1 is not that heavy, and is it SC'ed??? Cool...
Japanese are known on creativities...
Last time I remember seeing a 13B swapped Z3...

Why does everyone say that??? First, do you truly think the EVO had perfect weight distribution to begin with?? Transverse mounted 4 + TRANS!

Second, notice that the LS1 is set back into the firewall or towards the firewall more helping balance. Add the tranny that goes mid car (roughly) and it wouldn't be that bad.

Looks that way, but I can't seem to see where the induction happens. The intake ends in a cone filter.

its a supercharger thats not even hooked up.
I like the idea of swapping engines, but an EVO is a FF based AWD car...I guess its different and cool, but someone put in a lot of wrench time.

Who's to say it wasn't blown or sold?

Besides... i'd say this is a much better way to spend ones money than some people do on things like drugs/alcohol, $200 jeans, fake *****, and pet rocks

I'd like to see the bewildered look on the face on the person who pulls up next to him at a light.

How'd you get that i-4 to sound like a v-8? And how come your turbo sounds like a blower?
