guy i posted earlier with the LS2000 project finally got it on the road! Apparently the full swap with engine/trans/rear end only added 50lbs over stock, after moving the battery to the rear he was able to corner balance it back out to 50/50 
He even got it out on the track for its first shakedown, unfortunately the wind noise drowns out the V8, but nice to see all the same. Also he was out during a session that only let you pass in the straights so its not all that exciting, still dammit I want one

if thats the dude from Canada he built it with all junkyard parts and did the fab himself. It only weights like 50lbs more than the motor he yanked out and because of the power/weight ratio, he gets 30mpg
