Hey, have you measured the LS1 height and width and compared to the Isuzu 3.5L???? I just cant see this working?? But hey, better yours than mine.....
Have you seen the way the LS1 is packaged into the F-body? If not you might want to check it out. There is PLENTY of space from side to side, and top top to bottom... the space question is with the front to back... will I be able to squeeze a freakin fan in there?! Its gonna be tight... probably gonna end up with a couple of low porfile electric fans... not sure. I took a tape meansure to my boss's Z28 today... and the overall width of the motor, clear out to the valve covers is narrower than the space between the fram rails. The motor will tuck somewhat down between the frame rails... again, my concern is the front to back spacing. Its gonna be tight to the firewall and probably have LITTLE space to spare for the fan(s).

I'll take pictures and post them as I go. BTW, I read some different posts from the hybridz forum... width and height wise, I think we have more space than they do... I don't doubt though that they have MORE space front to back.

We shall see. TTYL!
