Little update. 4l80, crossmember, converter, driveshaft, and F2 are en route. Thanks RPM and Bob@ Brutespeed.
Fuel return line being upgraded, trying to decide whether or not to stick a fuel cell in it. I already had an un-used Aeromotive eliminator so that's what I'm using on it. I'm putting a cme on the car so I'm considering turning the cell around backwards (in the t-top hole) and the sump facing forward. If the sump is nosed down some and I keep the tank full for runs do you guys think that would be alright? (15 gal big *** fuel cell)

I'd try to mount it another way just so you don't have to have the tank slap full and add a bunch of un-needed weight. Hell 10 gallons of gas is 100 pounds almost thats .10

Little update.
the bmr 4l80e crossmember doesn't fit with the deep pan. going to have to modify it or have a different one fabbed up. A few odds and ends to tie up and it's off to Dallas.

Update on this car. I'm trying to get it in for a 25.3 cage right now. The engine that I've been waiting on for the vette is getting transplanted into this car. I didn't want to take out the IRS in the vette to hold the power/be consistent.
updated the stuff in the original post.
My goal right now is to get it running this year and do some grudge racing/bug chasing in the off season, then make an event in 2013. Preferably the LSfest and or lsx shootout in the LSx DR class. I don't have the time to run the entire series due to work so here I go without sponsors! I intend to put a Procharged car back on the map.

You can make the C5 irs handle some serious power. Just costs a little. I have a ECS powerglide in mine and prob going to their new 9" eventually. Has a built c5 diff with 1000hp halfshafts right now.

Waiting to hear when they want me to bring the car in for the cage. I'll probably have a wolfe 10pt for sale in the future. Aside from that, I'm working on gathering all the rest of the stuff for the build. (bs3/racepak/ignition/fuel/misc..)
