Finally! The swap begins. This is an LSX/T56 swap into a BRZ using Vorshlag Motorsports LS swap Hardware as well as Pure Automotives MOTEC plug and play LS swap computer and wire harness. @Pure Automotive @modernbeat @Fair!

Sold the motor so might as well start.

Transmission crossmember mount was pretty tough to get out

The shifter mount and drive shaft center bearing mount came out super easy. Used an air chisel. Cut them out with the chisel and then chiseled out the left over spot welds

With the tunnel cleaned out, the front subframe is next

Need to remove these engine mount pads from the subframe, grind the welds, smooth it out then bolt up the mounts

Something like this

Need to pull the center console and front seats to start drilling holes. Transmission mount goes here. Mount brackets are located in place with the single bolt from the bottom for the plastic under body covers...should make things easy...easier.

Here is what’s going in. Texas Speed 418ci making somewhere between 600-700 hp. And Vorshlags specified version of the T56 magnum XL

Car already has. A Fullblown Motorsports Ford 8.8 rear end

Vorshlag also supplied the clutch hydraulics which look really nice, the slave cylinder even has a nice coupler to make removing the transmission easier.

Adjustable Tilton clutch master cylinder

Engine mount brackets bolted on
