looks like all his efforrt is going to pay off, thats just plain cool, when that thing is done its going to be weird to hear the rumble of an LS1 coming from a mini. good find. and it will indeed be a fast little car. 8)

very cool

however, i think its funny he said "dropped right in like it belonged"

LOL

is that why he has to drive from the back seat, and had to have the frame made..

but, other than that obviously untrue statement
its pretty badass
i hope to see vids
