Anyone put in an LSx into a TVR 2500M?

Has anyone here swapped or seen a swap of an LS1 into a TVR 2500M?

Any pictures / suggestions / ideas / problems faced?

These are some dimension I found on this site - [www.chevroletls1.com]

The Corvette LS1 engine measures approximately 25.25" long (Rover V8 is 27.5"), LS1 overall height is 24-25" (Rover V8 is 25.5" plus the carb and air filter or efi plenum, 29-30" or more), LS1 width across the cylinder heads is 20.5" (Rover V8 is 20"). With the T56 6 speed gearbox fitted the LS1 is some 3" shorter than a Rover V8 with a standard 5 speed gearbox.

Yes, you were. Pound for pound and horse for horse, very close.
One day, eight pots, no waiting.
For now, I wait.
