Spreadsheet would be excellent to show everyone the enormous amount or work required to do a "proper" LS3 upgrade, together with a PROPER drive by video demonstrating the "beautiful" noise of a V8 working hard, which will be "music to the ears" of many, certainly me!

Hi Peter,

I would be interested in the spreadsheet if it wasn't too much hassle Smile. Savage build and attention to detail

I would allow probably about $1k for stuff I have missed / forgotten, but that's pretty complete/accurate 2001 90 HT 6.0LS/6spdAuto.

Had this stop a couple of times. Diagnosed it in the car park at the pub with a faulty ignition switch. Luckily I had a couple of tools on me (philips screwdrivers and multimeter) and could remove the instrument panel. The riveted connection on the switch that holds the terminal is loose. wobbling it resulted in it starting straight away both times

I have a new one on order and it should be with me tomorrow.

Slight update on this as its been a while!

I have fitted a much larger radiator, and a lower temp thermostat and 2 high flow fans.

That has required some mods to my front bumper due to how far back my high mount sat but I haven't started on that yet so I just took the winch out in the interim. 2001 90 HT 6.0LS/6spdAuto.
