Thanks wish pictures were bigger but not sure why the loaded so small. Getting ready to buy harness next. Any one bought from PSI? They have harness ls3 dbw for $625 and tcm for 4l60e for $75 programmed with my tire size and gear ratio.

I used dougs headers and mounts. Those seam to be ok so for. The pan is muscle car pan from gm it is currently touching sub frame in front and pan looks pretty deep at back may have to choose another option.

I started with 2 but had problems with it lining up with the mounts. I then pulled it out and went with only one and it worked great. Also had enough clearance to run factory ls1 low mount alternator

Good to know. I will try that. As for alt I am running ctsv serp kit from gm and it is also low mount. I will probably have to cut a notch in frame to clear it.

Not sure if you've bought your harness yet, but PSI makes a good quality harness! I got one for my 5.3/4l60e combo as well as a programmed ecu for $699. The harness is well made and lays out really nice on the engine. I highly recommend them!

I have not bought yet but I will. As for programming I will get a base tune from a local shop here and take to dyno after all is done. Quoted $795 for base tune and vats delete and dyno time and tune. Sounds like alot of money but is a big time saver on tuning.

I don't have any pics currently. But if you want to pm me your number I can take some and text them to you. The oil pan hangs down a good little bit below the crossmember but not anymore than the long tube headers do.

That's good I hope I can use this pan was a good deal because I work at gm so my cost is pretty awsome so hate to buy aftermarket parts unless I have to.

As far as 4l60e did you have to get a different cross member or did it fit when engine was pushed forward? Drive line have to be cut down too? I was running turbo 350 but did have to cut drive line down when I installed 12 bolt. Also is slip yoke the the same on 4l60 as a 350? My trans is at my buddies house being built still.
