2012 gm accent color---WA733J.....ppg# 301371......Don't raze me that the 6.0 looks crooked--It's loose in front waiting on new mounts!!.....

[toocrazy]

Very nice quality build. Love that paint color and thanks for sharing. Curious which Vintage Air unit you used that tucked up so nice under your dash. Also, I see you are using the 14 inch Corvette front rotors. What is your disc brake solution for the rear? I have been looking into the Wilwood but trying to find a more economical solution.

Thanx----have to look but I think its the gen 3--but the tuck is do to taking out the "shoe" in the upper pass. kick panel--allows the unit to raise--also dash is 2 1/2 " lower than stock--Rears are 14' corvette also--I have a kit from board member to install on "truck" 12 bolt (for sale in parts board now)
but ended up having a Moser rearend built with c-clip eliminators so I bought new kit from Tobin at Kore3--nice guy--VERY smart---Bought the entire brake set up from Boris--way2lo--Tobin has it whole kit too---Brakes were not cheap but came with everything but rear mounting kit and inboard parking brake---that's the kit I got from Tobin.......will post pics tomorrow of Kore 3 kit..........jim

[chapster]

I totally agree with the product and customer service from Tobin at Kore 3. I put him on the top of my list and will recommend him also.

[jtp67-72]

Here's the Kore 3 kit for Ford big bearing ends on 12 bolt--rearend should be here this week...Hey Mike did u check out this engine cover off of Ebay?? New in gm box --2012 camaro--$42.77 to the house --may not use it but couldn't pass on it ...It will swapmeet for $90-100................jim

[67chevemall]

Oh Man! Love it! Keep er Going! WOW

Motor looks awsome and that dash and frame.....wow

Can't wait to see more!

[jtp67-72]

Well---My man Nate came thru again--just got these new truss bars which lower 6.0 by 3/4"--worked beautiful--All of this was to try to get the most clearance for big azz 4l80--Engine has f-body pan--clears back of rack by 1/16th to 1/8--This is a nice setup now--should be the same for all extreme dropmembers ----back of f-body crank pulley will clear front of rack--vintage air frontrunner should work well--will know shortly.......jim
