Hang on we are going off topic a bit here, tso chassis, vauxhall monaro etc etc, this topic should be closed now as the original question was what engine was in the Lm600 road car, but this was awnsered quite a while ago.

new topic re: tso chassis etc?

If fitting an LS engine, the most sensible option is to fit a Tremec gearbox / bellhousing combo from any of the American rwd cars that use this engine. Or even from the Australian Holden versions. Or indeed the Vauxhal Monaro....

But getting a gearbox from an American "pull out" isn't that difficult at the moment. You can even buy a complete engine/gearbox combo with the ECU wires and sensors for a small amount of dollars ($2500-3000)

I seem to remember that a TSO chassis went at auction last year along with the last of the cars. There are two TSOs being advertised on the market at the moment. One at David Gerald Sportscars in Worcs (An ex demonstrator) and one at Hexam Horseless Carriages in Northumberland (a customer's car).

Still being made somewhere?

Is there any floating around?

Does a Mantis/Mantara/Mantula Body fit a TSO chassis?

I know whats easier, and it isn't the way I am doing it, haha.

Or.... buy a TSO chassis and the LS engine will drop straight in.
