Nice to see someone else use their engine hoist for that purpose besides me.

Looking good. Why did you paint the car first?

well one day my brother talked me into starting sanding it so once i started i couldnt stop or it would go to waste...


but yah i wish i would of done it the other way... the engine bay will be getting painted the same Hugger Orange here soon while the motors out.

thanks, did anyone else have a problem fitting truck coils with their ls1 intake and rails?

iTrader: (4)

Yes the truck coils hit the Ls1 fuel rail, but you can CAREFULLY bend the line up and it will work fine.

i bent it over so it goes inbetween the coil connection and the bolt

I have the Circle Truck Coils and the L76 Intake with LS2 Rails..I didn't have a problem then again I had to shim the Rails up 1/2" due to the LS2 Injectors.

nastychevelle

iTrader: (7)

yah i bent it to the side and got it to fit...


im contemplating motor plate or solid mounts still i will be making either so...


still need a TQ arm

iTrader: (88)

I would use a LS1 K-member and Poly Mounts..that's just my opinion though..it's a hell of alot easier to get stuff to line up. Poly Mounts are just a bitch to set the preload on..lol

I'm loving the UMI Adjustable T/A with the Relocation Cross Member..

nastychevelle

iTrader: (7)

ill most likely end up with something along the lines of the relocation crossmember...


and yah ive been looking at using an ls1 k member there just so hard to find in my price range
