I have the 302-1 and it doesn’t have enough clearance in the front of the pan so I may try the pan you have, I think you have the 302-2. I was worried about it hitting but it looks like it clears great. I was looking at the mast Motorsport pan as well but it doesn’t boot to the T-56 but I’m not sure if that would be an issue

So yes, that is 302-2. They have a 302-3 now I believe that has cast-in bungs for turbo drain

Was messing around on the schools 3D printer and pulled a file from SolidWorks. LS3 block. Not perfect, but still impressed with the precision.

OK! Now get it all machined out, make a little forged bottom end for it, make all the rest, and put it in an R/C car. You will be the envy of the neighborhood!

I think you should stroke it. Everyone likes 417 LS3 strokers. LOL Just don't go over 4" on the stroke. LOL

Just getting parts rounded up for the 6 speed now. I got the Speedtech clutch master cylinder bracket. Still need to weld the new sleeve on it. I also got a shifter in the classifieds for a pretty good deal. Came off an early 2000s 4th gen. I also drew my own shift lever on solid works and I’ll get to cut it when school starts up again. Just needing major components now. Clutch kit, Bell, and some more hydraulic stuff.

I run a 5.3L/T56 combo in the wagon in my avatar. Switching over from the 4l60e made that thing SO much more fun to drive...

Yeah I have th350, and it does alright but I just like gearboxes. Nothing against auto, but it just kind of dulls the car down I feel.

No new progress lately. Jut started aligning some body panels while I’m waiting for some funds and school to slow down. My uncles owns a body shop so when I finally get around to doing the body work he’ll spray it for me. I’m thinking jetstream blue or blue devil like the ZR1. Still haven’t got my shifter cut out yet.
