I used a Gm performance parts pan from summit, however I have the same issue. I have about an 1/8 inch of clearance to the subframe I'm trying to shim the motor mounts but if anyone has any other other ideas? Steering clears fine.

Runs good, fast, it does run a little rich at lower RPM. Im going to take it to get tune soon. it should get a little more power under 4000k.

Hey Wayne

I was hoping you might be able to summarize a list of parts for the swap? A recipe?

like radiator hoses used, mounts used, trans crossmember etc?

looks great
