I was thinking butt ugly but there are some practical problems with that. It would stuff so much air under the hood and raise the pressure so much nothing would go through the radiator.

So the hood is bad....everything else looks pretty good from the pics at a casual glance. I don't think 15k is too bad for an almost/ semi sorted LSx conversion.

If the engine is sitting that high, what else is wrong with the build ?

Doesn't look high in the pics. Might just be a case of bad tastes in hood mods. I'd want pics of that "custom suspension" though...

Am I the only one who thinks the exhaust going under the axle seems really low?

Yep going to bang those pipes good but might not be so hard on the inner CV joints frying. It's a boss frog build and there's really no other place to put the pipes in it.



PS when you get there double wrap your pipes under the gas tank and near the CV joints with header wrap. Yep ask me how I know...
