That sucks!!! I'd cancel the order and go somewhere else

Only place on the net that really sells this stuff.

That oil pan is sexy though.

And well needed
My LQ4 pan hung 4-5" below my subframe.

Though $400 for a $1100 3800 triple disc converter is nice.

Side main cap bolts being TTY

Had a loud snapping sound while I was torquing one of them down

Had this expression going and everything

Backed the bolt out and I just murdered the threads on it.

Oh fark. That does not sound good.

Didnt break the bolt in half or anything just killed a few threads

YUP, wo doubt, replace those torque to yields always. I know a couple people who tried to cheat, and they both lost the gamble.

So the block threads are ok?

Yup! Just killed the threads on the bolt.




Well folks, it's been fun tearing into this car but I think this project may come to a halt so early into the game.

I've come across another Fbody, a forth gen Z28 that is in running condition with a LS1 for cheap.

I may sell this off as a rolling chassis, or just sweep it under the rug and hide it somewhere on the lot for the time being. We shall see in the next couple of weeks.

Thing of the matter is I'm just really starting to want a car that I can drive NOW, and swap that 370 into .


Stay tuned.
