Well I had to pull the oil pan in order remove the oil pump in order to install the LS2 timing chain dampner in order to change the cam in order to delete the VVT.....seems like this project just continues to snowball down hil....LOL. Oh well, got that done now, I think....finally....I can start putting it back together for good,

Well it's starting to look like a motor again (PICS!). My buddy Joe and I installed the oil pan, front timing cover and the bolted the heads back on. I still need to recheck the torque on the head bolts and then I'll put in the new pushrods and the rocker arms. When I'm done with the that, I think I going to do a test fit of the engine/tranny. I'm tempted to try it without installing the high hump, but I'm 95% sure it won't fit.....

Thanks Bro!

Ernie came over yesterday and between the 2 of us (Ernie did most of the work,

), we got the high hump installed. After finishing that up, we put the motor in for a test fit. Well almost, the 2013 Camaro pan isn't going to work,

. I thought it would be close, but we confirmed it wouldn't. Two steps forward and one back...

. I ordered a 2007 Cadillac CTSV pan last night and it should be here early next week. It's the same one I have on the suburban and should fix the problem. I also think I have the accessory brackets figured out. I ordered a set of the Holley LS brackets. Hopefully they will work for my truck and Jakes 68....fingers crossed! Picture time!

It's not often that someone asks you to cut a hole in a pristine '68 C10 floor... you just have to say yes when it happens!

It's more fun than cutting on dirty old rusty metal...

Oil pan should be here Friday. I got the Holley LS brackets and really like the way they look and bolt up. I will have to make a few mods for the supercharger, but they should work perfect on Jakes LS1 in his 68 (pics).

Yeah I know I'm hard to satisfy and a little crazy

but lately I have been thinking about how I want to be able to drive my truck long distances and on highways without turning 3000 rpms or overheating. I am really liking the power and efficiency of these LS motors. When I put the BBC in I thought a lot about an LS but was afraid to do the swap and the cost of trying to figure it out. Since adding the dropmembers I am thinking a lot about wanting the truck to be able to drive anywhere. I'm researching my options now as I'm a total newb to LS swaps. I will have plenty of questions for you since you seem to have a lot of experience with them
