so ive sold my 06 supercharged z and was wondering what i should do with my 03

i've been driftin a lot more and decided to go with a v8 and thought i'd start a thread that may help others with their build so here it goes

remove engine


removed


i bought a 2004 corvette ls1 with 8k miles but needed a t56 tranny so i bought another complete motor and trans


i decided to go with the fueled racing kit


moroso oil pan


the new motor mounts



my tranny came out of a 00 trans am so needed to swap the shifter assembly with a 04-06 GTO shifter


installed the clutch lines yesterday


today we tried puttin the engine in but ran into a few problems


that is all for now

11/25 updates

just got from another great drift day at the balcony and decided to post some updates

we were having a problem with one of the rack and pinion hard lines that was hitting the oil pan and so I had to get a brake line from NAPA and re route the line closer to the rack



decided to remove the whole subframe and just slide everything in installed





dorman 555-025

 

good luck!!

 

A word of advice. Take the spark plug wires out still you install the headers.
One of mine was interfering with install of the header

Good luck

 

looking very good

 

Putting the headers on after the engine is in the car? Why? seems much harder that way to me. I don't know why more people don't just pull the sway bar and cross member, bolt everything together and then slide it in the front and hoist it up... done To each his own though.

 

Good luck..

 

Subbed!
