Wiring up an LS1 is easy, utelising the factory ECU is the go, its excellent, the ZF on the other hand......fine if driven easy.....

Nice Rangie! Can you tell me where I can get my hands on a bellhousing conversion to suit the LS1 to ZF box? Cheers, Dan

I was chatting with Rags the other night about it and he was saying that he has had some teething trouble with flex plates letting go, seems to be an alignment issue he thinks.

As far as the ZF not handling it, it seems fine at the moment and he is not very nice to it most of the time.

It's running a LT230 TC I believe as I'm running what what was his spare in my 300Tdi Disco at the moment.

thats soo much what i wanted!! but had to settle for a stroked rover

Why can't you. According to my calcs, a 6.0L LS2 would be no worries in a D90, assuming the weight of 1700kg's.

QLD transport do make it hard to find the info on their website though...

Wow Looks good, interested in knowing how you have plumbed it up looking at this pic here

Either your motor sits alot higher than mine or the 4 bolt steering box is much shorter, they look to be mounted roughly in the same position otherwise, mine may be a little further back. With the 3 bolt steering box i am having some clearance issues..

Engine and trans were moved 50mm forward and also custom mounts made for engine and chassis , We had the same issue as you so we decided it was easier to raise the engine slightly to keep all bolt on acc,s for the motor standard for ease of replacement in the future
