more cutting. doing thru the floor subframe connectors. will tie in to front frame rails and either stop at the rear bulk head or ill tie it in to the rear torque boxes
pass side, all most done cutting

drivers side, still a little bit more cutting needed.


more parts keep showing up at the door,still lots to get, i sold the 31x12x3 intercooler for a 31x12x4 i hope that extra inch of thickness will help lower iats. meth will be used also. erik at hke said hes just waiting on my pushrods then the motor should ship out. still nothing from firefighting1101 on what hes gonna do about the trans bellhousing being broke (ultra bell best way to fix it imo) power coater sent me a pic of the wheel also.
the subframes will tie in to the rear frame so i needed to cut an opening threw the rear bulkhead

what year engine is that?(short or long crank) what flex plate did you use? did you have to use a spacer for it? the converter your using is it set up for a th400-ls1?

sorry for all the questions. I'm trying to figure out if i have the correct parts to put mine together with.
