More PICS, More Specs... and forget about the nay-sayers...

That is sweet, what great motors. I am doing the hemi swap myself, but I dig it...

That pan looks nice, what trans are you running, did you do other floor mods besides cut the T-bar crossmember, that crossmember is pretty clean too... looks like a 4spd floor before?

Show us some more PICS, all my buddys drive chevys, it would be nice to be able to race at the chevy show with them...

Thanks. I would have loved to do the hemi swap too, but I'm much more familiar with lsx engines. Plus they are more affordable. The engine is a 5.3 out of an 08 Silverardo. Upgraded the cam, got rid of the drive on demand junk, upgraded valvetrain, and kept stock heads. With full exhaust and some nitrous I hope to run deep 11's.

The trans is a stock 4l60e. Gonna go with a converter and a transcooler on it. The floor was kept perfectly intact. It is a 4 speed floor. I will mount a shifter on it and it should work without a hitch. The fabricator took great care to not cut up the car if at all possible. The 73 k member wasn't even touched for the engine mounts. Motor mounts were fabbed to sit on the stock k member mounts.

I posted a few more pics in post #27.
