Another turbo ls

Heres a top view



The new crossmember which came today and i'm quite pleased with

My 2" blocks and c notch showed up today, so i figured i throw the blocks in to see how the truck will sit before i do the rear end up. I was shocked to find how much higher it is then my orange truck which has 5" drop springs and 1" blocks both trucks have a 6" rear drop total. Now the orange truck has been together for about 12 years so I know its sacked out some in the rear (which i like) just didn't realize it was that much. Now here's some pics

Once i get the motor and trans in I think I'll be good with how it sits.

6" drop done with newer 4" springs 2" blocks



Heres my orange truck for comparison of 6" drop with sacked out 5" springs 1" blocks


Both trucks are sitting on 15" rims

I got the motor and trans in today and the timing cover drilled and tapped with 1/2" npt for the turbo oil drain along with drilling and tapping the oil cooler block off with 1/4" npt for the oil feed. Now if my log manifold would show up.... anyway here's a couple pics



greasy mess looking for a home



I thought the truck pan would be a little low so I sprang for the f body pan but looking at it in the truck I think would have only hung a little bit below the crossmember though being a cast pan I'm glad its tucked up there
