    Yep. Feels like I'm gettting a new car.


    Will take lots of pics once it's unwrapped.

    Will see if there is a block number and take a pic of that as well.

    My friend Raj. He usually woks on Murcilagoes & Gallardo's but said he'd do this for me as he likes a challenge. Ni pun intended. :D :D

    The mapping and final suspension set up will be by Simpson Motorsport who built and raced the original Le MAns racer. Thought it best to "keep it in the family". :D

    Sy this (348/355 section) is a far better forum to post your conversion results and photo documentation;) The majority on the Club scud forum are negative tossers mate, i realy would not bother taking the time posting on there. They have no vision;)
    Keep us informed of this incredible LM engine conversions progress:)
    Just for inspiration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYsQWOoySY8

    Congrats! I am excited to here more about your build.
    Can you list mods? What type of power are you expecting?

    I am highly doubtful you can get individual filters to fit. I am thinking of a single plenum, and then a ram air setup like some of the porsches, basically modifying the engine cover so that the spot above the intake is a high pressure zone ramming extra air into the intake. You might need to either fabricate either a custom engine cover altogether or modify the factory unit. Let me know what you think.
