Next up.. dropping in the LS2 The new subframe is up under the car now.. nice to have four tires on the ground..
The LS2 has been built and in about a week we will put her in. Next week I will be installing all the brake and fuel lines. My Speartech harness arrived and it's a work of art.. life is good
Went in easy and we squared it all up. Installed the Wilwood master and figured out the location of the proportioning valve and clutch master (couldn't get myself to mount it to the fire wall). The brakes really fill up the wheels nice.
Also figured out a sweet way to do the steering column so that it looks super clean from the engine bay. In a week or so I will drop in the LS2/T56.. progress.. woot!

It's supposed to have a more "racer" look.. low on chrome, high on tech and low on amenities..
No AC, No heat, No wipers, No stereo system but it has a GPS track computer..
Function is put over form, but that doesn't mean that form is neglected.. if it can perform the function well AND still look sweet then why not
Like the billet hood hinges.. they do not hurt performance in the least and they work as good as or better compared to the stock springs. So why not?

I won't even be running those tires..
