LS1 swapped into an EVO! by Scream

2 minute(s) of a 45 minute read

quick update:

it just amazes me how things seem to "fit" on that car; the owner removed the rear subframe and diff, and put a foxbody stang rearend under there and it fit like it was made to be under an evo

the rear coilovers fit exactly on the shock ford shock mounts and you gys should see how well stang wheels and tires fit in there.
he had to fab a set of lower control arms (slightly bent ) inorder to have them mount to the mustang lower control arm brackets and the evo's control arm front braket .
the uppers were ditched and the owner is going with a torque arm setup .

just for fun we decided to slap on my 28x10.5-15 on there thinking they won't even fit in the wheel well, guess what?? they fit like the car was built for them, they tuck in nicely and there is about 3/4 to 1 inch clearance btw. coilover and inside of tire and just some minor rear bumper trimming that might take place just to make sure no rubbing happens when the slick grows.

and i don't know if i mentioned it before , but the steering is done with a fox body mustang rack.

and to answer why he didn't go with an rx7 or a 240,,,, well there are 3 lsx rx7's in our group and 2 240's ( one being a work in progress), so doing any one of those would just be "boring"

i should have some pics of the under side and rear suspension pretty soon. the owner already has a ton of pics documenting progress and should be uploading them on a site pretty soon.

look in youtube under ls1 evo for vids of it running and "testing" the stock rear end.

next to come is the roll cage which will be tied in to the suspension as much as possible, some propper engine ans suspension tunning and a few loose ends here and there.

then : more videos!
