About to get a FFR M4 need some advice from the guys down under
Hey guys, i was on ls1tech and a "ls1 cobra" posted on there to come over to this forum board for info on LS swaps into the cobra.
i will be buying a FFR M4 very soon and will be doing a ls swap into it. we are a shop and do a TON of LS swaps into various cars and trucks, but i always like to learn from others mistakes and get onthers info on what they did or would do the next time. things i am looking for info on are: motor mounts hooking the clutch to the t56 slave fitting a 13" rim on the rear for a 345 tire who makes a header that is easy to modify to fit. getting a very short shifter that doesnt go at a extreme angle. this car will be a ls FI motor with about 550-650 RWHP. i dont think there would be much of a way to hook anymore than that. the motor and blower will be able to do WAY more but with a 2000LBS car i think its pointless. any info you guys can give me would be GREAT! and thanks for you time!!!:cool: |
What gearbox and clutch setup?
With regards to rear tyre size, there is a dedicated FFR forum, I dare say they will have that answer, headers I think most peole make there own, maybe talk to FFR and ask? My car uses Corvette mounting ears and Holden (Australia) Commodore rubber mounts. |
going with a t56 transmission
for 8.8 out back I have talked to FFR many times now they have nothing really for me in the way of doing a LS motor in the car. if i do a FORD they have everything! LOL Is your car "MADE" for the ford motor also? and you just made those mount work? |
