Righto, a bit of a while between drinks but time for a update.
I refuse to pay stupid money for parts here so once again I have had to wait for parts to arrive from the states. namely the parts are a 52mm aluminium radiator with the inlet and outlet on the left side to not interfere with the steering components,
Camaro accelerator pedal as there is no way the truck one would fit,
straight thermostat housing
chev truck transmission pan for the 6l80E because the Camaro pan is mostly identical but has a drain plug on the rear which would just fowl on the tranny crossmember
a dirty dingo Sanden SD7B10 LS Low Mount AC Combo Kit because there was no way I could get a commodore a/c compressor to fir with the corvette offset accessories our commodores run
a alternator relocation kit from marks 4wd adaptors.
photos to come.
So with all this being organised in the background I've been pressing on with the build.
I removed the rpm extreme mounts and fitted the motech RHD mounts to find that it fits ALLOT better, I have clearance everywhere now, from the stock headers to the water pump. The engine is still kicked to the left of the transmission tunnel but everything fitted up fine
Drive train prepped for final fit
And in for good
New thermostat housing for the LS3 style pump
