This swap is pretty sweet, the only thing i dont get is why would u go from a high reving sports car to a muscle car, if u wanted to swap to a bigger motor, i would have gone with a high reving V6 or V8, something that keeps the characteristics of the S, that we all love so much, alive. If u wanted a muscle car if would have probably been cheaper and a lot less time consuming to just buy heavy american car and then strip it of a good portion of weight. Not that this swap isnt cool, because it is pretty sweep, i just dont get why.
It's alright, xyster deserves a lot of respect for doing something nobody ever thought was possible.

WOW. That car sounds absolutely SICK.
Congratulations on the successful completion of your project.
I have a CTS-V and an S2000, so I get V8 muscle and sweet high-revving I-4 noise in my garage. I can barely imagine having my LS-A from the V in my S2000.

Thanks for the comment and just for an update, I drove it to a buddies house on Sat. and then out for dinner and while we were in the parking lot I had a few people come out to see it but only after I had revved it up a few times then they had to see what was making all the rumble. Then I drove her home, she ran great and yes i got on it a couple of times and she will spin the tires 
She will make her first show on Sept. 19th at a local shop she will still look like crap being unpainted but thats not what she is about right now.
