996 with LS1

I tried it on my M3 in MI with my actual registration numbers and received a ticket. The officer was pretty nice about it.

 

You are from MI...the LS1 was the right thing to do

The swap was also done on the right car!

 

yeah I have no problem with a motor swap on an M96 equipped 996

 

How hard is it to change the plugs and coil packs?

 

The car is making the internet rounds, here are a few places it's popped up.

Since my last post the exhaust leak ended up being a broken AIR delete plate on one of the manifolds. I can't bring myself to just repairing it. So the LS7 manifolds are going on the car and a new exhaust is being fabricated.
