Looks like the Gen F GTS LSA Engine will be popular due to their low price. GTS is fitted with the Camaro ZL1 version of the LSA, not the Cadillac CTS-V version.
We have them on order already from our engine supplier for other customers. Manual versions with twin plate clutch and mated to the slick Tremec 6060 MG9 gearbox. That gearbox has some very sweet road/race ratios and oil cooler support. We will do some test fitting as soon as our first unit arrives. Simon, if you can wait, we will be supplying a full fitment kit. Engine and gearbox mounts. Full coolant system with heat exchanger, reservoir, pump and all fittings and hoses. Plus cold air intake system. We can exchange your existing engine/gearbox mounts if they are not suitable. Looks to be an excellent fit for a PACE 427 especially with that low slung throttle body at the front. Also looks to be easy to get running with available electronics controller kits. It is a tall engine though, so if anyone else is considering fitting it to another kit check the dimensions. Harrop get 530KW & 1000Nm with their Stage 2 kit for the GTS LSA. Harrop just uses simple bolt-on changes and a tune. Lots of potential, that's if you are crazy enough to think you need even more power than what it provides stock. |

Due to our unique exhaust routing we can run the largest/bulkiest of oem cats very, very close to the exhaust headers without sacrificing ground clearance or creating heat issues. VE V8 Commodore cats are physically one of the largest around. |

But if I go full reg, depends on what the engineer says but I'll more than likely have to run an undercar system. It just so happens that I kept the 1200km old OEM cats off my E3 HSV when I put the 3" Walkinshaw system on. I also have a pair of brand new Outlaw 200cpi Euro III cats too that fit the Walkinshaw system. Which cats should I use? Re the LSA fitment kit, yes, I'd be interested in that. I was sussing out the heat exchanger, reservoir and pump anyways but if you have a system worked out for the Pace 427 then I can definitely wait. I'll be getting the engine controller kit from the states as my friend is coming in from St. Louis in March and will bring it with him. |
Brad's exhaust will be finished soon, maybe he will post some pics?

What sort of exhaust are you going with Brad? Undercar with cats?
Cheers Tony |

According to the following info, Euro 4 came into effect for new passenger vehicles in 2008. There are special rules for ICVs but with Euro 5 and 6 being phased in, I wouldn't count on Euro 3 being acceptable for too much longer. Perhaps an engineer can chime in here?

Simon, Have you sourced a gearbox for that LSA engine yet ? Muzzza

t's available locally. Just under $3K to my door (brand new) and it includes an integrated bellhousing. I just haven't bought it yet! |
I would, easier to fit one now than trying to find room for it later!
|
EPA don't care what sort of rego you have when you are polluting. Besides no cats smells very bad.

Sounds like a cool build,
We are about to upgrade a GTS LSA with a Lingenfelter cam, heads and boost upgrade, these things are going to make some crazy power.. |

Also, the cooler kit as supplied actually mounts the cooler to the side of the gearbox, so that is where I put mine. |
Went to Kmart tonight to get the kids some presents for their friend's birthday parties tomorrow....and I found this little gem. At only $12, I couldn't say no.
Some motivation to keep me going! http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps3lhr6aiu.jpg |
Awesome, keep the dream!
