LS3 Swap/body modification Related Questions

Hey I happened, to have a couple of questions. That for the life of me, I can't seem. To find to somewhere to, get solid answers to. That Ive want to know, since: these chassis came out. Then I found out, about Leathal Performance's LS2-swap kit; was released. From then, on I was in love with the car.

1 What's the wide tire, I can fit on; a 19" rim? With and with out a widebody kit.(front&rear)

2 Will the factory final drive work? With my planned LS-swap's Torque/Horsepower figures.

3 If the the factory, final drive won't do. Who would you suggest to, get the taller, final drive, from.

4 Who's swap kit, will work with the, LS3?

Obviously, I'm unable to find the answers; to these questions. Which is, why I'm posting, this up. So that, hopefully I can find the answers; to these questions. I would prefer real world, experience. The problem, with me is that. I really, haven't done a serious build. That could, possibly require me to, go widebody. The last time I built, something like that was; in 2006. Which, as a Quad Rotor FD RX-7, which was built; to be a "dyno King"/"show car". Or really, done anything other then, basic maintenance.

Please don't tell me, to stay with the O.E. motor. However, if it was a 240SX, with a healthy KA24. Then I would, be more then happy; to do so.

The factory final drive will work.

If you want a taller gear, the IS300 M85 differential is bolt in and is a 3.73.

The other stuff is specific to your needs, you need to measure it and plan accordingly. This platform isn't to the point of full swap kits, yet.

Thank you for letting me know. About the Is300 diff swap: now I don't have use Cusco. Which is what's stopped me, from doing the build; in the first place.

I read the following sentence in Shatner's voice the first time around: "Why am I, a troll?"

Personally, I think the OP is going to Priceline-negotiate the hell out of that LS swap.
