I think the rad support does need to be notched. Delmo.. did you need to do this on Notcho ![]() It's either notch it or maybe the rubber mounts are too short.. looks like I need an extra .25" or .325" or so.. Any insight Nathan?

Thanks a lot Mike. That's perfect, it tells me that 1. yes I need to do it and 2. gives me some good inspiration for how to make it happen.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
Alright, I guess it's time I updated my thread.
It's been a long time since I last posted and there have been several months (years) where I have put the truck on the backburner due to competing priorities but I've been back at it for the last several months and I've got a bunch of pics to update the thread. Here goes...... I changed direction significantly on the truck for several reasons which included some bubbles forming under the paint forcing me to repaint, wheel offset issues up front and I stumbled upon a motor that I couldn't resist. So here's the new direction for those of you who may not follow on along on instagram. ![]() The Truck's name is LIMBO.... as in "how low can you go" and as in "this build has been in Limbo for a long long long time. ![]()

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
A friend of mine (board member here ClassicChev) happened to have a LS7 in his garage one day when I went to visit.... sooooooo... I bought it. Thanks Darren.
I really like Delmo's DELS3 style with the script covers etc. so the first step was to prep and paint it orange. ![]() and I got the new wheels as well... ![]()

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
Mocked up the wheels to measure up for the narrowed diff...
![]() Had the diff narrowed and BTW .. went with some custom axles from Dutchman Enterprises <-- they were awesome to work with; highly recommend. ![]() and ... got the rubber mounted ![]() ![]() Also picked up a brand new trans from my local GM dealership (4L70e) ![]() and a pretty cool oil tank for the LS7 Dry Sump ![]()

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
I decided to update the chassis to handle the increased HP with PBFAB's Frame Stiffener setup.
Really cool, well designed and built and... super easy to install. Thanks Nate!! ![]() ![]()

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
Raised my bedfloor pretty much the same way everyone else has been doing it... basically the same anyway. I decided to mount the oil tank in front of the pass side rear wheel and have the cap immediately below the bedwood (I will hinge a small section of the bedwood in front of the tub to gain access).
I also am suspending my air tank/exomounted compressors and other accuair stuff from the underside of the raised floor framework. I plan to access fuses close to the oil tank... I think. ![]() ![]() I had my local sheetmetal place bend me up a panel to cover the gap that would otherwise show with the tailgate down. It will also help finish off the bedwood termination at the tailgate as well. ![]() ![]()

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
I picked up a set of Sanderson LS134 headers with the black ceramic coating and set the LS and new trans in the frame for the first time.
![]() ![]() Pretty Tight to the frame on the passenger side so I "clearanced" slightly. ![]() Tons of room on the driver side ![]()
