To V8 or not to V8? That is the question...

I think I may call up MA Motorsport and see if they have Chris Forsberg's Z there and if so, can I come take a look at the engine fitment. MA is like 30 min away from me.

We did not have to cut, nor extend the shock towers at all to fit the VKs into Forsberg's chassis.

Feel free to shoot me a call at 410-593-7080 would be more than happy to chat with you on this!

Also, as for weight goes a fully dressed VK56 comes in at about 503lbs, a fully dressed LS3 lands at 460lbs stock for stock. You can get the VK to the LS weight fairly easily all said and done. The main concern on these swaps is an oil pan as mounts are not to difficult, would love to find a customer that wants to work with us on a set up! As we currently use a Dry sump in all our uses so that does not really transfer over.
