So what oil pan are you using on your TMS stroker motor? I went with one of their forged LS3 motors and kept thinking about the 416 stroker but was worried about getting the right oil pan that wouldn't hang below the subframe. Project looks great and is definitely persuading me to do a few touch ups to the motor when its finally ready to go in. Having the fire wall smoothed at the moment and also going with the Raingear wipers to clean up under the hood.

Hey man. I used an Autokraft oil pan since that is the one that works best with the Speedtech subframes. I haven't actually checked clearance but I hear it tucks up nicely.

Very nice work! Can't wait to see the finished car. I am curious which push button ignition you are planning on going with. I love the OTRATTW guages.

I bought a ii much fab Airport AC bulkhead but am trying to see what others have done to route AC hoses through the kickpanel area. I want my hoses to be completely hidden so I want to put the bulkhead in the area where the original blower motor would have been.

My concern with cutting through the kickpanel is obviously having issues with water getting into the interior of the car.

Anyone have ideas??

Thumbs up Car is looking great...

Wow the car is looking great.
I ran one piece hoses without any bulkhead fittings. They went above the kick panel and then thru an area above where the original fan motor location. Once complete the hoses are not visible at all.
They drop in beside the battery to get to the compressor.
You can see starting around post #119.

So time for an update. I have gotten quite a bit done on the car this month and have more parts on the way. Plan is to get everything mocked up and ready to go to paint for the first of the year. I believe I might make it...

So I ordered and received my T-56 Magnum and got to work on making room. I used the pre-fabricated Speedtech transmission tunnel cover. I made a lsyout by creating a cardboard template then cut out the hole, welded the cover in place and painted/seam sealed the joints. I will have some cleanup to do on the bottom side the next time I put the car in the air but overall I think it came out well.











This of course allowed me to finally wrap up the dynamat in the cabin. You can also see that I made the hole in the trans tunnel/firewall for the PSI conversion harness for my LS3. More to come on the wiring in a bit.



So obviously I skipped a few steps in getting the transmission bolted up but I picked up a Quicktime Bellhousing as well as a Monster LT1-S cluctch setup. Clutch is good for 700 HP and supposed to retain a fairly stock pedal feel. It has gotten great reviews and came highly recommended from a few friends.







Now that the transmission was in place and I was able to locate the penetration location for the engine wiring harness I moved my attention to locating a place for the ECU and fuse panel. I did a very poor job of taking pictures but I fabricated a bracket that piggybacks off of the DSE Vintage Air bracket that bolts up to the bottom of the ECU. I then welded two threaded bungs to the top of the firewall to catch the top side. Its hard to see in pictures but it came out great and is solid as a rock.
