Yellowbird, would love to see some photos! My build is almost 3 years old. My first engine had problems - it was used - As I mentioned in a previous post I would only buy a new motor. It seems that too many people had issues with their used LS1 or LS based motors. This second motor was a new long block LS1 from a GM dealer. $3K for new. Why I ever bought used I have no idea. This motor has been running without any issues and I would drive it across country without any thought. The G50 is strong and I see no future issues. I bought my kit from Renegade and they were incredible help. The cooling is the issue that everyone thinks about. I decided not to hack up my car and put in a rear radiator with some help from toyjet. Some of that help happened after I installed the radiator. I have a single pass radiator from Ron Davis. I ordered a new duel pass radiator (actually ordered a triple pass buy they could not build it) more then a year ago. They can be very slow. I have a double pass radiator coming soon... My cooling was only an issue when the temp outside was in the 90's and very humid. I never overheated but didn't like seeing the temp rise to about 225. The double pass should lower the temp by 20 percent. We shall see but any cooling will only help. The cost to build was not too bad compared to having to rebuild my 3.2 If I break down in the future - anyone service shop can help out. As I mentioned in my previous - the power one receives from a stock ls1 is pretty impressive. If I had a 915 Tranny I would probably not do a launch but the G50 is different - I believe pretty close to the 930 tranny but not quite sure about that. Lets see some pics!
