I love the idea of the Ls1 in an RV10 (geareddrives.com), but am still looking for a midtime IO-540 for my 10.
Question 1. If I decided to do the LS1 conversion, what parts don't I need from the Finish kit and will Vans remove those parts that I don't need from the kit and reduce the kit cost?
Question 2. Would I need the Firewall forward kit from Vans (~6k)? It seems all those parts are already on the Firewall forward package from Bud Warrens package.
Adding these two things together you starting looking at some serious money savings, right? The 540 motor mount has to be a pretty penny...2-3K? Anything else from the finish kit I potentially wouldn't need? I would guess I would have a lot extra misc hardware, but I doubt Vans would remove any of that hardware from the package... maybe I'll order the kit without hardware and buy them separatly...
