Sweet build. I wonder about your valve springs though. That's a lot of lift on the cam to be using LS6 springs..Then boost on top of that will make things worse. Maybe an upgrade is order?

We'll see when we dyno tune it!!

Install got nixed for Sunday, next weekend it is.

did a test fit of the motor tonight, had some motor mount issues but will get that resolved tomorrow morning. Hood clearance with the Radix is bad, I'm gonna need a cowl hood







I'm not mad, just bad camera timing

Got the motor and trans in Yesterday. The Fuddle 3000 stall did not seat in the 4L80E so I am using the stock one for now. Tim (lsxyj) fab'd up a three piece cross member for the transmission and we used a standard GM 2 bolt trans mount. No trans tunnel mods where required for the 80E and we still maintained proper pinion angle. My motor mount issue was resolved by going back to the short and wide type. The power steering pulley is removed now for ease of install, it is not know yet if it will fit in there, we will see tomorrow.

I had a buddy weld up my first TB bypass hole and installed the nipple off of the old steam crossover into the water neck for a Magnacharger compatible setup. Look for some more updates this weekend.

Headers are mocked in the chassis, water pump back in, blower brackets installed, and TB bypass complete. Waiting on fuel tank and new converter to show up. Going fishing this weekend, no updates!!

Laid the harness in tonight and boy is it gonna work nice, defiantly worth the time and parts I have into it. The ECM will tuck up nicely into the fender in back of the battery, out of sight. Most of the wires that are to be tapped into the original chassis will run through the fender out of sight also. After a bit of cleaning up and OEM style plastic harness holders I think it will look ok.
