Very nice! Almost looks like it could be stock! (That is, if GM ever put a turbocharged LS in a Thirdgen!) Where did you mount your coolant bottle?

I mounted a bottle under the filler panel in the front by the hood latch.

Dont go LS-7, get a 6.0 truck block and get an eagle forged assembly and RHS or trick-flow heads. Mine is 425 ci and makes just as much power as the LS-7 (Only cost me around $14,000 too!)

82z28man; Just beautiful!! Gotta love a black thirdgen, especially when it's as clean as yours!

That is one heck of a wolf in third gen clothing. Have fun smearing the track with mustangs and 4th gen's.

Which manifolds did you use? I have some truck manifolds but I don't believe they will work on the 3rd gen. Do you have a build thread? I am doing a 89RS as we speak.

Good timing because i just put it on the dyno yesterday. A little dissapointed in the hp, 512 hp and 573tq at the wheels. I need to add some timing on the top end and the hp should get up there, i just didnt have time to change it and log it to make sure there was no knock. heres a video of the run.
