Hate to burst your bubble but you weren't the first, I talked to the owner of a one and he said there was another one there somewhere. I wish I could afford one for my S10 but I'm going to have to settle for my iron block 6.0 with LSA supercharger, It'll still be fun but not nearly an fun as the LT4 would be. Your car looks sweet bet you can't wait to put some miles on it.

Upload a video to youtube or flickr then post a link, it's not much different than uploading a picture.

Parked along side the Mississippi

Air filter location






Don't say anything about my SC tank fitting.. It's all I could find in my small town




Dry sump setup

Default LT1 LT4 L83 L86 Gen V engine mounts.

Hello. I have different posts here discussing different issues on installing the new Gen V. The engine mount on the new engine is in the same general location as the LS engines, but the bolt pattern is completely different. ICT Billet makes new adapter plates for Gen V engines, then you can use the common energy suspension SBC mounts to seat the engine on the subframe.

Hello! Is your radiator a stock style radiator, meaning are inlet and outlet is stock positions? The pictures look like it but I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Sorry, been busy. Driving impressed the hell out me. My buddy put a few clips on his YouTube at Les Morris ll. Stock radiator and still have a few bugs to work out but it is insane to drive. Just this last weekend we put the caltrac suspension set up on cause last fall I could not keep the tires from spinning. I flat out goes!
