That shouldn't be a problem. Just find the Kenworth it used to be attached to.

I didn't use a shim. I know some people do with the LS1's but we don't. The car is under construction, new motor, new turbo, new suspension, wheels and new cage (funny car)

Looks nice! Did you get that from Shane?

My plans haven't changed, but since I sold my LT1 setup I don't have anything that would be ready for Thunder.. I'm just going to throw a nitrous motor in the car and come bracket race.

Is PTK still doing your headers?

good luck!

p.s. - my wife says your couch is butt-ugly
