Awesome build, this is my first page visit on LS1Tech and I like seeing this. I hope to see this project finished soon!

A real Pontiac can get down to aluminum LS weight and push 600ci with the blocks we have these days. While not cheap, Butler and Kaufmann both sell aluminum blocks.

How close is your steering rack to your oil pan?

[QUOTE=All Pontiac WS6. How close is your steering rack to your oil pan?

The motor is 2 1/4 offset so it can clear the rack. I'll have to measure it some time

I lowered my rack 1". So the motor sets lower in the engine bay.

These are the rims I bought from Ray [camarodude87].

No real progress lately.

I did get the fuel pump replaced and all new fuel lines made.
