Sorry, I don't post here often, but the project I've been working on for the last 18 months was finally *completed* last week. My 98 Z34 is now powered by 8 cylinders in the form of an LS4, as well as moved around by a 5 speed manual transmission still. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot in the way of videos besides it running in my driveway since I was in a hurry to put it away for the winter. But, I can tinker some more while its in storage to fine tune everything. My full build thread can be found over on W-body.com (thats linking to the actual thread). Anyway, heres a few pics and a video. Enjoy.

 

Thats really awesome!! First LS4 5th gen ever?

 

Okay I am next, only I want it to be Rear Wheel Drive!! Lets see how good your learning curve is. Lol

 

I believe it might be. I've not seen another one. For sure its the first/ only 5th gen LS4 with manual transmission.

That funny. I don't know if I'll ever go the RWD route, at least not for now. Admittedly, its beyond my patience and ability at this time. Further, I feel like so much of the car gets hacked up that its less [car] turned rear wheel drive and more of [rear wheel drive car] with another cars' shell tack welded on top of it. That said, if that RWD 95 Monte Carlo concept car every comes up for sale, I want to buy it. Its kinda my unicorn car. Last I saw it was in some car museum, but maybe they'll get bored of it.

 

Wow that is absolutely excellent, sweet build!

 

Really cool! Thanks for sharing! This is the first I have heard of a LS4 in a 5th gen!
