i have about an 1/2 inch all the way around the sump of the pan, what i did was put a 1/2 plate of steel under the pan and lined up the engine with the s&p mounts and rubber motor mounts together and drilled new holes in the cross member, i made sure everything cleared. one major problem i kept coming across was that i had a jack holding the trasnsmission up, that threw off all my measurements, so what i did was connect the cross member so i could get the proper agle of the the motor and transmission. that made everything easier. as for the front of the sump of the oil pan it hangs about 1 1/2 inches past the cross member, i'm going to see how much ground clearance i have when i put the car down on all 4's. hope that helps you out.

nah its a 5.3 out of an 05 chevy silverado with 32,000 miles i got the motor and transmission ecm, harness and drive by wire set up. so hopefully no guessing when it comes to firing it up.

I see you ditched the crappy coils out back....



What kind of setup do you have on the rear ? Got better pics of it ? Maybe with the body off the frame ?

Nice project man, that is a beautiful color

Is the motor completely stock?? That intake manifold looks pretty tall...

well on the rear i have carrera adjustable coil overs 14 inch spring w/225 lb rate. all energy suspension bushings. nothing special as to how i mounted them i used the same angle as the shock and reinforced the frame where they mount up to so they wouldnt rip out the pocket since all the weight of the car will be there now. as for the mounts i bought a lot of prefabbed tabs from a local speed shop and shock bolts. when i say reinforced the frame i did all the stress points on the entire frame front to back. i dont have any pics of the a rolling chasis because i actually needed room in the shop so i had to mount the body back to the frame but i did all the coil over location before i seperated the two and then reinforced everything around it. heres a few pics.

yeah the motor is completely stock right now, the ecm has been reprogrammed with a generic performance tune similar to a hypertech, i removed the vats,evap and rear o2s i think thats about it. i figured i would get it running first then change the cam and maybe a supercharger nothing outragous. as for the intake its the big ugly. i plan on putting an ssr engine cover on it and it all fits under my 4 inch cowl induction hood. thanks for compliments.

Any updates on the project? I'm confused why you would put the stock type control arms back on??? They look stock anyway.
