look a page back...

mid-length headers, flowmaster merge, 3" i-pipe with electric cutout, hooker aerochamber muffler, and some special custom made tips for the tailend.

i'll get pictures of it all when its done, hope to have it started in the next day or two.

How much power are you looking for? And where did you get the headers?

Did you get the oil pan kit from brp hotrods also? And how did you mount the motor mounts and get them in the right spot?

all the answers to your questions are in the posts in this thread. get on thirdgen.org and there is a wealth of info in the lsx/ltx swap section for the 3rd gen f-bodies. not trying to be rude, but please take the time to read before you ask a question that has already been answered.

superior chevrolet, and the engine mounts go in the original location.

here are some more random pictures from some of the finishing stages. i'm waiting on my new powersteering pump to get here so i can fix my leak issue. i was just going to do the reservoir, but decided to do the whole thing while i've got it off. i will also be adding the 2004 pontiac montana 3.4l pulley with the 3 holes for access to the bolts.

below are pictures of my cutout switch that is hidden in my ashtray(gotta love crinkle paint), my a pillar mounted interceptor gauge, some pic's of the intake routing, and the engine.

i need to get my cruise control bracket fab'd up, put some better turndowns on my tailpipes, and take her in for the final tune and dyno session.

haha, didn't want to destroy the 10 bolt, or the new clutch. that would have been depressing. its running, but won't roll cause the ring and pinion are scattered on a 2 lane ks hwy. that's why i was short shifting at about 5500.

when the roads dry up, i'll see if i can handgrenade the rear with a good powershift or two. make no mistake, i have cat like reflexes and mongoose like speed when it comes to bangin' gears.....

no issues, you need to use 1" set backs though, they put the engine/tranny in the same place. a t5 won't last long behind an lsx powerplant, you might want to consider a t56. i didn't weigh the driveshafts but the 4" aluminum was considerably lighter.
