Hi boys and girls, I just started my RR project, 01 mod p38, broken engine, like many others.
A 6,0 ltr Chevy 06 will be the one, whish me luck, and i will uppdate you about the projekt.

lq9-p38

Hello, first post here, but I've been wondering the same thing. I have a 98 4.6 with 180,000 on the clock and it doesn't sound so good. I am going to put a forged LS7 in to my c5 Z06 which would leave me a nice running complete LS6 to use. So I thought I would listen in.

The conversion itself is a piece of cake, the ONLY concern is the interface between the BCM and the ECU


I was thinking about it for a bit

Must be my annual LSx P38 thinking time, well I do need another project after this 120"

Anyone know of a cheapish P38, I'm thinking should use the holden auto, make an adaptor to suit the BW Tx, just need the donor P38!

Alsong as interface signals are sent via signals not data, it should be an easily acheivable job, I think I can step into a niche market, drive in- drive out, engineered conversions

You should convince the inlaws to part with theirs, for the right price, I'll double what you paid for the disco

Next project, focus is on the 120", aiming for sep finish....see how I go
