Re: LT1 GenV swap
Well "fits like a glove" was not said today.... with the motor and trans in, using 3/8 plate as the adapter but not bolted to the clam shell... trans raised till it contact's the tunnel the driveline angle is about 7-8 degreese. Oh and the oil pan rests on the cross member. Could shim the motor mount frame bracket, cut the cross member, or make a custom mount. 2 of the 3 woukd raise the trans even higer.. Yeah I know dirty dingo sells mounts, but the crossmember is still an issue and says low mount ac is an issue.
Think I'm just gonna make my own and call it good.. I'll post pictures tomorrow with the truck manifolds on, hopefully they fit... dont want to build another set of headers... it's rewarding and time consuming all at the same time. Modifying the oil pan isn't a big deal but leaving it at this height leave the steering linkage rod close to the oil pan.. and as the motor mount gets worn it is like to contact. I also havnt turned the steering wheel to see if the rod raises when tm steering wheel is turned. More tomorrow..

I have asked Holley these questions.
Here is the response I have gotten. "I checked with Product management and we do not have anything ready for release yet at this point on specs or price point we should soon. We are targeting end of February." Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: LT1 GenV swap
Info only, l83 manifolds are a no go.. driver side is acceptable, passenger side impossible without serious frame cutting. Gonna finish mapping out the exhaust ports and get a set of flanges cut out maybe 2-3 sets and sell em to offset the costs.
Gonna go to the bone yard and see if there are any tall hump tunnels to cut out. Clint

I could probably get you a set of 3/8 stainless fanges cut fairly cheap no need to have multiples to offset the cost....
