during the last summer i had one crash that took my front bumper for good ... so i decided to change the look of my car !!!
i went D-max all around
then the season ended and the car went to sleep !
this winter was the time to put a cage and prep the car for the DMCC rules
took the sound deadening out with some dry ice
started the cage and tube front end !!! here are the pics

Later LS1s had LS6 intakes. I'm pretty sure on F-bodies, they had LS6 intakes in '01 and '02. I'm sure the Corvettes from then on did too on LS1 cars. They're worth 15-20 hp over the old LS1 intakes.

Nice. If you are using that trans and the 5.5" triple disk, why did you get a QuickTime bellhousing? You should have just gotten a reverse mount Quarter Master bellhousing. That is way cleaner than using a flexplate for starter engagement. Looking forward to updates.

Your trans also doesn't have a bearing retainer snout. If you used a reverse mount Quarter Master bellhousing you can mount the Tri-light TOB to the inside of the bellhousing. I would also count the number of splines on that input shaft. Hopefully you don't have 3 too many...LOL Many of those transmissions have 29 spline input shafts, which is no big deal you just have to order the right disks from Quarter Master.
Also, a 3 disk 5.5" clutch is going to be pretty much an on/off switch. Hopefully you don't have any illusions about driving this thing on the street. If you wanted some level of streetability I would consider going with a 7.25" 2 disk Rally, or if you have deep pockets then get a 3 disk 7.25" carbon/carbon.

Protect your legs from what? LOL You are using a 5.5" diameter flywheel and clutch, not a 14" diameter flywheel with a 12" clutch. The need for a blow proof bellhousing comes from the use of big heavy flywheels that can come apart under high RPM use. You don't have those issues with a small diameter clutch.

yeah the bellhousing was to protect me from the flywheel exploding ... but when i first ordered the bellhousing (Quicktime) i didn't know witch clutch i would be running ...
now that i have that QM tripple plate and that you showed me the reverse Bellhousing ... im pretty sure i will go with that !!!
