so while i wait for my oil pan i bought, i decided to mount it in and mess with the headers a little bit. theres a couple clearance issues with the headers but ill make them fit. need to order some flanges and get a welding mask.
not much lately. just waitign for parts and money. painted up a couple things. got an oil pan setup coming soon. trying to find ls7 lifters still. probably goin to order my head gaskets and head bolts here soon. also probably goin to try and get a starter and header flanges soon i can finish the headers up.
no real progress, been pretty sick. put my coil packs back together, pulled the front accessories out of the wash and primered them up. dog wouldnt leave me alone so i turned him into my new 2015 superbarker. had to put a blower blanket on for safety.
got ripped off by a member for a oil pan setup. guy said it was in great condition. think the motor exploded cause the windage tray is all blown out, the pickup tube was bent to **** and there was tons of metal shavings in the pan. besides that ordered up some stuff. headgaskets, head bolts, starter. still tryin to find lifters so i can put the heads on. still tryin to decide what color to paint the motor. think like a metallic orange for some reason.
Depending on if you want to do hood pins or not, you can buy a C6 Corvette air bridge and do an over the radiator intake instead of using the F-body air lid. It also requires cutting two layers of the underside of the hood. This is what mine looks like:
so decided i cant afford this thing anymore. im very impatient and dont have the time or money to finish it. its up for sale on the local craigslist. i put the heads on, put the oil pan on and mounted it back in the car. then i put the front body panels on. if i dont get any bites as a complete car then im goin to part everything out.
i have it up for $1500 obo caus ei know how people like to lowball but i think some guy is picking up the shell today and then ill probably be parting out the motor stuff later.
These are extremely easy to put LS engines in them. I don't like that engine mount kit they sell because the engine sits way too high and too far forward in the car. I modified the k-member, relocating the rack and then used a motor plate and mid plate. I also used f-body headers. Turned out pretty sweet.
