A little too close on the passenger side, but cutting the stud in half on the 3-bolt flange did the trick.

I owe you a drive with me in the passenger seat. lol

Did some more tuning now that its registered, im only on 4 psi and 17* of timing (low??). first and second is useless, 3rd kinda holds sometimes and sometimes it just starts to fishtail. 12.2 to 12.4 afr right now. Ill have more vids but before I up the boost or add timing I need tires BADD lol. Any more power and this will be a all out drift car.lol

Thanks again for all the help scott, wouldnt be feeling this power if it wasnt for you.

That car looks like a lot of fun, have you brought it to the track yet, just wondering how the q45 diff is working out. Found someone in town who can put a ford 9 inch pumpkin in the 240 and keep the IRS, just trying to see if I should try something else.

Nice. I just finished up my LS6 Miata. Must be a Baltimore area thing. Looking at some Wranglers for my next LSX swap project.

Awesome build. I have a coworker that is looking to do the same swap in a very clean 97 240. I am really interested to see if you have any pics of how you modified the factory chassis to mount the motor as that is the biggest thing being really expensive.

The corvette motor mount brackets that go on the motor are flat. If you can get a pair of those then after that its all cutting and welding and line-ups. Ill take detail pics tomm. afternoon.
