Yeah, i know they are felpro's, i was looking at cometic but i wasn't about to break the engine all the way down to get the deck redone. This engine was put together and ran N/A for a while before i got my hands on it and pulled the heads off and sent them to L.E.

Cause after fixing problem after problem and getting this kit how i wanted it i ran into a problem with the oil return system i was going to run, this is no ones fault but mine and i dont want to pull the k member to take the pan off and weld up one hole and make another.

This kit has never been ran at all.

So like i said the kit is for sale, there is no problem with the kit, all you need to do is stand the radiator up and make a oil return system.

See it through. Why come this far to start over? Pulling the pan is minor compared to starting over.

Well I'll bring this thread back from the dead with a update lol.

Car still has not ran due to a lot of things such as - my daughter being born, change of jobs, got engaged and bought a C6 vette.

But it is getting finished at last it looks like it.

Changed **** up on the cooling system, installed a new oil return system and had to get a custom power steering pressure line made. Was just about ready to top of fluids when I noticed I messed up on my 24x wiring so after getting pretty pissed I decided I was going to break the harness all the way down as I should have and started removing everything i dont need. Its pretty late but ill try to get some pic's up in the next couple days.

Glad your back on track and not giving up! Everything looks great but your rear and rear suspension setup. Edelbrock torque arms have a high failure rate, the stock driveshaft is as thin as a beer can, and 10 bolts don't last on 300rwhp in an m6 with over a 1.8 60' let alone with 650rwhp. To save all 3 of these things and be able to enjoy the car before upgrading, I'd be REAL EASY on launches and stay on street radials. If the driveshaft or torque arm fail, especially with no driveshaft loop and the torque arm on the tail of the trans, you could really do some expensive damage.

My phone isn't letting me post pictures but some of the changes are as follows.

Cooling system-
Griffin radiator
dual deral pusher fans custom mounted
alot of machine work and welding on the water pump housing
Stainless coolant hoses.

Oil return-
Turbo werx scavenger pump
Braided AN lines

Misc-
Custom power steering hose
Compete 24x repin
Turbo blanket

Also I don't plan on launching it to hard on this rear, I do have a drive shaft loop and wad probably going to have a custom tq arm made.

Did some more wiring tonight until my eyes hurt lol. I'll get some pictures loaded on my laptop since it's not letting me do it from my phone.

Trying to make the wiring as clean as possible which is taking forever.

Get the twins done!

Well spent a lot of time on this wiring and just about done, glad I have an extra lt1 sitting around to help make the wiring look cleaner. Probably gonna have to order some new looming and heat tape crap.

Well **** has changed once again, im in a very tough spot financially and thinking the best option is to part this cars drive train out to help. Not 100% yet but it's looking like the best idea so far.

With that being said if any one is interested in any parts please send me a PM and we can talk.

Well I decided after way low ball offers for some of this stuff I will get the car running and figure it out from there were this car is gonna go.

I went from auto to 6 speed and 24x conversion while triple checking my wiring but ran into some issues when trying to fire it up. Fuel pump will not prime and starter will not engage. The ECU was originally tuned for a 2002 Z28 auto so ill be wiring in the OBII port and hooking up my HPTuners to see if my tuner didn't disable VATS and check some other **** he told me to.

Hopefully it wont be a huge struggle to figure this one out. If I could figure out my LS1 swap into my 97 WS6 I hope I can get this one tackled.
