Thanks. Its nothing exciting. Leftover parts from friends and a few new little thing. 2005 Gen IV L33, TPS torquer V2 112 lsa, pac 1218 springs and pushrods, A friend donated me an 88mm precision that needs a rebuild. I have a 4L80e with 40K miles but it was in a fire so the sensors are warped and need replaced. Depressing building things with no or little budget. Still excited. Doesn't help that I'm a complete noob to chev engines. Learning hat on.

Will they clear the mounts and frame rails if mounted low instead of high?

Sorry for the late reply. Mother had multiple strokes.

In the low position they clear the frame rail but would interfere with the alternator. I need the alt in the stock location.

JWooky that car looks badass. I'm just trying to "persuade" the 4L80e in the trans tunnel.

Sorry for your difficult times. I have been having some of my own. Barring my head in the car project help me keep my mind off things at times.

Sorry to hear about your difficult times. I have been struggling through some of my own. Sometimes it helps to bury my head in the car to take my mind off things.
