I really like that radioactive green color for some reason. Adds good attention-grabbing pop to the engine bay without being over the top ridiculous. Look forward to more updates!

Yeah it should sneak through the headers and accessories just enough for a little added pop

Waiting on mount pics!! What oil pan and sump setup do you need to run to clear the crossmember in these cars? Front sump, I presume? Been kicking around the idea of a stock 5.3/4l60e in this sc300 shell I've got sitting out back, just trying to get some research out of the way. Thanks!!

Rear sump just like the stock motor. I was gonna just keep the truck pan on the motor but I think the extra 3 inches of clearance of an F-body pan will definitely help so I ordered a camaro pan. Still have to notch the subframe just a bit but nothing too crazy

I vote at the back, run a decent muffler on one side and a pipe on the other, put an electric cutout at the rear Y and you can be quiet or loud but not too rowdy, basically just like a borla catback for f bodies,. This is assuming the car had a Y at the rear somewhere for dual mufflers before.

thinking out loud

Thanks guys! I am debating powder coating the vc's green or just polishing them and anodizing the fuel rails green. Car is going to be Brilliant Black from dodge so nothing too dramatic but still a little different

Was able to get the racepak mounted with an OEM look without cutting any of the stock stuff





There won't be many stickers on the car at all but love this one from the guys at Fuel Injector Clinic who have always helped me out

Thats more than likely the route I will go too and just polish the valve covers a little more. I think green valve covers might be just a little to much lol
