Paintwerks, I'm sure you've done your research on getting that LSA into a Cobra, but here's a list of obstacles that I had to overcome or ones that I've seen other LS-Cobra owners deal with over the years.
- Engine loom (possibly different connectors compared to LS2/3)
- Fly by wire setup
- Correct ECU with Aussie tune for IM240
- Turn off VATS, BCM, etc in the software
- MAF meter and correct placement to pass IM240
- Engine temp &
oil pressure senders and adapters (if needed)
- Alternator, p/steer if running it and brackets (not included with my crate motor)
- Suitable master/slave cylinder for the clutch
Many of those questions will be answered by looking up part numbers for the VF GTS, but your local Holden dealer will likely ask you to produce a VIN from one of those cars before they'll even talk to you.
With your LSA engine you won't find many tuners who have experience with that engine. Or if they do, they haven't put one in a Cobra. Sideshow may be able to help you there.
Having said all of that, when those rego plates go on the car it will all be worth it!
