Got my new coil packs in. Thanks to eBay for the great deal on a new take off set, and the guy who bought my LS1 was happy to take the old ones off my hands.





Got them mocked up on my Holley valve covers.

Are you going to do a coil relocation kit? No reason to cover those valve covers especially since out coil packs look so ridiculous in the engine bay.

Not this go round. I bought the Holley covers as I like the way they look with the coils. I may do the GMPP covers if I get a wild hair and decide to relocate them.

Well time has drown closer to completion the last 2 days working until midnight after working 14 hour shifts.

Fuel system, fan shroud modifications and top side electronics are all that's left. Taking a break tonight, but will have Thursday to get all of that work done before it heads to my good friend Collins for fab work Saturday.

A little radiator massage will be necessary.





Passenger side:


Drivers side:


Almost there:




Underside done minus mods to mufflers to work with C6 swap.

Finish fuel system, paint the piping and reassemble interior.

Fab work is done.

A huge thanks to my good friend Collin for all the kick *** work today. The man is a magician when it comes to welding.

First order of business, extend my Ti mufflers and mod the x pipe for the C6 diff and trans swap.





Mock up begins:





The man know what he is doing, 3 cuts and we were here.





The man TIG'n away



Intercooler mounts





This took MIG because the metal coating in the framerails.



Top side done



Awesome welding skills. Will take more pics of everything finished tomorrow.





Even on the junk used Big Red flange.



A HUGE thank you to Collin for all the work today. Seriously proud to have you work on my car.
