Horse power! Factory LSX produces 620hp wth carby, electric waterpump might pick up another 25hp. Looking at maybe 550hp at the rear wheels??

Your driveline will eat up more than 70 horses, might get there with a manual, but not an auto. Autos can loose as much as 25 to 30 percent.

The LSX is the similiar size as a 308, 10mm shorter actually, so fitting extractors no problem. Once drive line is finished and able to start I'll be taking car to Fat Pipes in Brissy to get a 1 7/8 set made!

Yes I have seen there work, it's top notch! I gave them a call and had a chat, they have already fabricated a set of 1 7/8 for a torana, they were a tight fit, but can be done!

Very lucky in Queensland as we would never be able to licence a 454 in an LX here in WA. Wish we could because it would make for a very fast car with that many cubes and little weight.
