This is great! The engine sounds like a great deal for what you get.
I saw the Kennedy Engineering flywheel and adapter plate setup, and they look like very nice pieces. A local guy is building what he calls "street rails" using a tube chassis with various engines and Boxster transmissions. He just got an LS1 from a Corvette and a Boxster S six speed transmission to put in his latest "car". From what I can see, the LSx + adapter is significantly longer than the M96. I was a bit surprised to see how thick the adapter plate was to accommodate the starter. It looks like some clever engineering or notching of the bell housing could save an inch there. It will be interesting to see how that all bolts up.
I can't wait to see more!
