yeah, the trans am is pretty cheap and insurance is even cheaper at 18$ a month. i got my ls2 chain, and the brackets... they are very small for what they cost! and the timing chain is identical to the lq4 chain

another bracket showed up today from scoggins, so i will start taking pictures tonight after i get my ls3 intake manifold, and for no more than it costs im thinking of tearing the bottom end down and having it honed and new rings. and the block baked i would rather do it now than after i get it all done and find out it burns oil.
Look closely at the drivers side ear and you will see it..
No hole..
Hole drilled & tapped..
M10x1.5mm thread pitch if I remeber right.
And that's also how you properly set the Timing Gears..
