Nah. A few little things after building the entire car. It was the day before domestic vs import so it was late in the season. So we figured we would just call it quits and start strong this year.

I think I talked to you 1 of you guys yesterday about my new ls1 cog brackets for the 98-02 camaro/firebird stuff. Nice build. One thing the 3 bolt crank pulley will not work with the 131. So you might wanna send the balencer back to chris at innovators and have him add the extra three holes and then drill the blower pulley too. IT will shear those 3 bolts with in 2 passes maybe 3 if your lucky.

Looks like some good progress, do you guys have to make any changes to the steering rack to get the crank pulley to fit?

We will be using a manual rack that will move the rack forward and down. Were just at the first basic stage of mock up. We will need the RHS block and Mast 275 heads for motor plates and exhaust design because of the height difference of the ls7 head and copper head gaskets.

Just a few updates.

The 25.3 spec cage is coming together nicely. Entire floor and tunnel removed to allow the cage to be lowered for welding and final finish. Might paint, powder coat.

ARE Drysump system has finally arrived.

We are still waiting for the Sonny Bryant Crank.

Here a few updates pictures.....
