Did some test fits to make sure everything was going to clear. Then got the mounts done. Need to get the oil pan welded up and then start to hook up everything. Still need to order a harness aswell.





biggest thing was making sure the hood would shut all the way, it does

On your th350, is it the long or short tail? The reason I ask is because I am going to use a 4L60E for right now and I wanted to see more or less were its going to seat verses the th350.

I'm still working on a oil pan I have done some cutting on the stock truck pan but it is very tight. May just end up getting a custom pan made.

I just need to bend the tube on the water pump. Right now I'm only going to run a alternator so it should work out. May add a/c and p/s later on.

I have a 9" tailshaft now (long) but I'm going to put a short tail in before its on the road. I think with a 6" tailshaft I may be able to use the stock driveshaft

I think the Cadi CTS-V oil pan might work. Few questions, are you going to use a cable driven TB and what are your plans for the Fuel system?

I know a fbody pan won't fit. I'll have to get out a tape measure this weekend and see if any stock pans may fit.

I'm using a cable TB and going to use the stock 350Z fuel system, just need bigger injectors because of the lower fp.

I have been looking at cheap aftermaket pedals but found some of the 350Z guys have got the stock pedal to work with the cable. I'm going to try that 1st and if I can't get it to work right I'll just buy one.

Just buy looking here https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...-oil-pans.html the CTSV pan won't work, don't think any stock pan will
