Video Update! (7-12-2012)

The motor and transmission are in! BUT...as always there is a problem. The oil pan (LS3 C6 Corvette pan) was too deep towards the front. I thought it would clear but...it didn't.

Love this build. I had a 78 with the strobe stripe back in the day and always thought there was a ton of room under hood for something bigger. LOL
