Re: 68 S/C update.....

Couple more pictures from today's madness... Always fun to watch someone else drill a hole in a perfectly good LS3 crank and balancer.

Thanks guys! I'm fortunate to have a good friend like Ernie (BuckSS) motivating me and helping out. I borrowed a set of blocks from Ernie to get it up in the air so it's easier to work on. So I've been bolting stuff on and checking clearances. I'm going to have to rework my CPP trannly mount due to the design of the 6L80 tail shaft mounting pad, but I think I've got it figured out (just need to do some cutting and welding). My original shifter lever/linkage almost works as is. I just need to do some tweaking after motor and tranny are bolted down for good. Headers couldn't fit any more perfect, a big BZ to Doug Thorley!!!! The factory 6L80 pan hangs down pretty low, so I found a pan off of a Caddy STsV (pan part # 24239528/filter 24252158) that is a lot thinner and will bring it up about 1".

http://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/acd...8,oil+pan,8546
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...52158&_sacat=0


The factory tranny lines are going to work like a champ too, . Also, the Cadillac CTsV oil pan did me right again, I love how it fits the crossmember and it works great with either CPP motor mounts or ECE motor mounts. Enough rambling, here are some pictures.

PS I talked to John at Speartech and will be ordering my harness after the holiday weekend. I've "bugged" him a bunch, but he's always taken the time to answer my questions.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.
