Nice project....I would keep the exhaust kinda low key to keep the sleeper look...

strokergsr

Im gonna mock up something kinda radical for the exhaust first and see how it looks but if that doesnt work the way I want then it will be a fairly OEM style exhaust with ultraquiet high flow mufflers

Guess there's a few of us now... I just bought a very complete 1999 LS1+T56 pull out today locally for my 1995 SC400. Making my own mounts too like you.

I mean no disrespect to that one company, but paying 1/2 of what I did for the pull out for just 3 mounts is sillyness. I've got a bandsaw, a MIG and a TIG and plenty of time in my life.

strokergsr

Yeah that's the same miind set I have. Was in the local performance industry for a handful of years and still have a lot of good friends helping here and there so for that im pretty lucky

I went ahead and ordered the engine plates off www.PatParts.com that were cheap and should help save a little time. Might come in handy for you and i'll be sure to post how they workout for me

strokergsr

Actually the plates just came in lol! See post #1 and Wilwood prop valve should be in any minute

That valve is pretty trick!

Thanks for the tip on the plates, that will save some time for sure. Are you planning on reusing the stock style rubber mount like me? I basically just want to make a mount from the motor that lays into the stock rubber mounts. That appears to be what DGR did too.

are those brake light provisions on the prop valve? i have a wilwood master but never decided on a prop; might make things easy

strokergsr

Yeah gimpster just gonna set the new mounts on top of the old bushings.

Irish350 - yes the valve came with the brake light pressure sensor and a couple other small parts for around 60 shipped

strokergsr

Plates bolted to the block dispite other sellers on ebay saying they wouldn't. Notched the subframe too. Pics later

Should be ready to start mocking up mounts tomorrow

strokergsr

notched subframe



and bolted new plates to new motor

i may be picking up a 95 SC. and i have a complete ls1 sitting in my garage minus an intake. really liking how this is going...this may be the way i go. only difference is ill be having a built TH400. are you keeping the AC and whatnot?

strokergsr

I plan on keeping a/c. I wouldn't mind keeping powersteering but I will see if it's worth it v.s. keeping the engine bay nice and clean.

Got everything worked out in my mind now just waiting to get back to town to start making it happen

millertimesc600

Ok we definitely need to do a ls fest sc meet or at imports vs domestics or something !!
So who else is driving their sc??

strokergsr

Im not sure if turbodreams ever finished his. I will have to hit him up when I get back in town and see what's up

strokergsr

Still out of town so I know I have some boxes waiting for me at home but I picked this up from a member here while passing through Maryland

strokergsr

Sorry for the lack of progress pics. I have been staying busy out of town for about 4 and a half months now and Irene is going to keep it that way for at least a couple more.

Motor is at the machine shop. Comp shaft mounted rockers, springs, retainers, ARP head studs, all cometic top and bottom end gaskets, and come other odds and ends are ordered and dropped off at the shop to keep things going while I'm gone.

Here are my BC coilovers that came in and my cousin sent me a pic at least lol

Very interesting build. How much power did you have with the previous setup?
