^^^ Add me on facebook to keep track of the mount kits. They are being built as we speak.
I just received some Patriot CNC ported 5.3l cylinder heads and a EPS 224 236 113 cam is on the way!!

I've actually put about 5000 miles on it so far. Its just going under the knife for heads cam and other parts. At that time I will be building a perfect fitting set of prototype headers and finish test fitting the mounts.

I didnt put the car on the scales before the swap since I was short on time. I was still on stock suspension when I first put the ls1 in. My car was sitting around 3 inches higher in the front with the ls1 and bounced it pretty good for a week before swapping to the coil overs and it would never sag back down. I'm guessing since the engine itself is lighter and it sits behind the front wheels more than the 2jz this makes the front end quite a bit lighter.
I might have a chance soon to throw a stock IS300 on the scales for more hard data.
