Yeah that is the AJE unitother than mine being a little tweaked "bought it used" the fit was great. Everything went where it was supposed to. I highly recomend using a F-Body, Vette, or some other shallow pan though.

I have fought the good fight and won. FInally after countless hours working/sorting through setbacks and bad weather my LSX powered notch is alive. Here are some update pics and a link to a video

It looks like I can use a factory ford radiator too.
Do you have any pics of it from the side? I just want to see how close to the firewall it is. thanks

That is a Mishimoto radiator designed for the 79-93 fox cars. I will try and get a side shot of it. I have about 3/4" -1" clearance between the rear of the passenger side head and the firewall. The drivers side has more room.

The Front mount distributor kit comes with instructions and a template to drill the cam retainer plate for the oiling holes. At first I thought there was no way the 2 tiny holes would supply enough oil but I was wrong it provides more than enough.

Distributor is a MSD-8579

it was a drop in unit. The Front mount conversion gives you a list of distributors you can use.
I don't know the part number of the oil pressure adapter I used it was just a brass fitting that had the OEM sending unit thread pitch on the male side and reduced it to a standard 3/8 NPT that is found on all the mechanical oil pressure gauges.
