This 1964 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was built by Ricky Byrd from Texas. The car rides on a custom chassis with Mustang II front and custom rear suspension. The powertrain consists of a supercharged 6.0 L LS2 V8 that makes 500 horsepower to the wheels through a Mendola SDR5 five-speed transaxle. The car won Engineering and Best in Show awards at Holley LSFest 2010.

has any one ever done a LS engine into a vw plateform like a 1970’s beetle
I dont know about a 1970’s version but here is a guy who has done it to a 1968. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1179914-my-lsx-1968-vw-beetle-videos.html
Which headlights have you used for the conversion? At first glance they appear to be off a Mercedes E class, but those are a unit together with the indicator lights.
