Todd, you have gone too far.  You can't put a FORD engine in a Corvette!!!!!!!  They require a REAL engine.

Love the sound, as much as I hate to say it.......it may be cheaper to put a Ford 5.0 Coyote engine in it.

OK, let's dissect this: $35,000 (chump change).  Flat plane crank (check), flat plane cam (check), flat plane ignition, fuel system, "new" cpu (check), divorce (check), lawyer fees (check), drive to Carlisle for the show and watch it rain but win the performance exhaust contest and get 8x10 plaque, lose job and sell the corvette on Ebay for $29,800, locate homeless shelter.  Wouldn't it just be easier to run "unequal length tube" headers and Borla exhaust and "Flat Plane" decals on the fenders?

Lingenfelter Performance has offered a Flat Plane Crank conversion for the Small Block and LS for many years. It is not in their catalog, you have to ask for it. They will be also tell you that it is fragile, it was developed as an experiment, and that they sell it but do not recommend it.

OK, so everybody wants their replica to sound like a real Lambo.  This guy took an LS1 and installed a flat plane crank (plus a lot of other stuff) and YOU need to listen to it.

It isn't enough to want a Lambo, you have to want to BUILD A CAR.
