My engine builder said the 5.3 and 6.0 cranks are stronger than that alloy block cranks. There is a local boosted 5.3 (stock internals) hammering down a reliable 600rwhp. Not so much as even a blown head gasket. A boosted 6 liter would put the 928 in supercar territory.

Any of the factory cranks are fine for 1000hp. There are a lot of stock 5.3s in the 800whp range running 88mm turbos. They blow up after a couple years, but who cares as you can pick up another one for $500.

I forgot to weigh the fried 928 strut brace. Mine weighs in at a whopping 2.0 LBS.... Now Dinsdale has got me thinking about a 928-V12 version....

Chopped it out with a Sawzall. Getting pretty good with one of those. Looks like a solid 1.125" clearance with the LS intake. As soon as weather breaks all I need is an exhaust and I'll be on the road with this build.

Alright, everything's done minus exhaust. I went with the PSI Harness and it was plug n play, I just had to lengthen the IAT lead, no biggie. The engine mounts and TT swap parts I designed worked out very nicely as the cable TB sets way back so a DBW will clear a large tower brace. The Cable TB and intake clear by 1.125". The factory 928 one is Fugly and needs to be stronger.....

Would that piece work if it were moved forward except for the connection points?

Yes, I originally had a 4" bar to work with but didn't have to offset it.

I Went with the PC925 as the LS folks say it does a good job of cold cranking. I'll post the dims of the custom bracket when it's done.

I won't be building extra adapters for the G35 mirrors, just one-offs, but these can be made fairly easily with flat-stock and bolt right up to the flag bases with a 1/2" cap-head. I Haven't decided how far from the body I want to tuck these in or if I'll hook up the heated elements, Probably just cut the cord and gut it, but it's already lightweight. I think they look great on my OB and aerodynamic too. **** on the flag mirrors.

Got a few fires in the iron ATM so wont make adapters until Christmas break. Wilwood 6-pots are ready to go on whenever I stumble upon the right set of wheels. I like the Panameras being put on these cars.... and of course will be working with Dins to get the adapters designed for the paddle shifter project.

I've built many of the upgraded 4340 Chromoly axles for the V8 swap 944/51's and will be installing a set of them in this LS1 build as well......ROLLED splines and larger shanks. The 4340 spools more than 300M and saves the trans components....
