it would be a great move - if the instead of adapting the rouschcharger to the 3.9 - they figured out how to put the 4.6 into the LS. Then all the other stuff would work without modification.
Agreed!

It would be interesting if they actually take any wrenches to the car.... big liability if they do..
2. The 4.6 (Actually a 5.0 variant) was successfully installed in two '02 LSs by McLaren. They had to use a unique intake manifold (cast from magnesium) to achieve a fit without cutting the hood. The work was done at the McLaren facility in Livonia. I saw the cars and a spare manifold when I was there in 2002.

the OLOA LS had a fully built Roush Stage 3 in it - DOHC I believe.
do you have a turbo kit ready to go for $1,800 and is it a "reliable" power increase?
by reliable I mean is my transmission gonna fall apart after 500 miles?
bring it!! I would love to see more hi-pro LSes.
not likely much market for a $5k - $7k Roush kit - turbos can't sell (below $1800), the SC kit at $3.8K is still waiting for more.
Pete - I posted dyno results - 352+rwph with the daily driver pulley, 1/4 12.831. The special pully - little more
Any new updates?
do you have any idea if they were DOHC 4.6L's or SOHC 4.6L's
if they were SOHC was it the 2V or 3V engine?
just curious, because seeing the engine bay I've thought about the idea but couldn't see how the wider diameter of the already bigger displacement engine "AND" bigger DOHC heads would fit in the LS's bay... I could only grasp a SOHC ford modular motor in our bays... and even then it would require some cutting I'm sure
you guys might find this disgusting... but an LSX would fit perfect in our engine bays, the angle the heads come out makes the engine very narrow and easy to get in tight builds despite it's huge displacement (look at the mallet solstices)... connect the LSX to a 4L65E and you might have something going on... an immense amount of work I'm sure... but just saying
nothing, someone else must have got picked... someone who isn't a member :-(
