Front spindles are BMW E46, and the brake calipers are Porsche 996. The power steering rack is an '85 Volvo 240 piece, while Hocky fabricated his own control arms. The knife-adjustable antiroll bars are by Sellholm. The Mopar 8 3/4 rear axle houses a cone-type limited slip and 3.91:1 gears. Hocky designed and built the three-link suspension setup; the coilovers are by KW Competition. The rear wheelhouses were moved in 200 mm for tire clearance.

Here's where the B20 four-banger used to live. Hocky strove to give his LS1 swap a factory look, adapting a P1SC ProCharger kit for a Pontiac GTO to the 242's engine compartment. The Chevy's cast-aluminum oil pan required reworking to clear the front crossmember.
