MotiV8r Reloaded - The official car of Pro-Touring.com

[dhutton]

That's great news and a bummer for me. I would have LOVED to have left the factory pan on it installed on the production line. I heard those pans and the pickup were bullet proof. I was told that it would not fit so I spent a bunch of time and money trying to replace it. Doh!!!

Have you spent any time on a road course with it? Any oil starvation issues if you have?

My car is a work in process. I am guessing you will be on the road long before me.

Hey Larry, is Mark Stielow selling the c6 ends directly or did I hear you mention Detroit Speed was selling them? Thinking of going that route instead of welding on Torino ends on my 12 bolt.

Any Updates?

[Larry Callahan]

I should have some pictures soon. The gang at JCG have installed the motor and trans and the Bowler trans tunnel. The rear end is going in now and it should be a roller mid next week.

Looks like it's coming together...

Larry,

Nice progress! I would definitely check bell housing alignment. It's critical for good shifting and transmission life. Personally, I like the stock CTSV bellhousing. It's less than $300 on Amazon and it replaces the front cover on the Magnum and adds a built in pump.

Love the car. Larry do you all the part numbers for the abs parts that you are using?

You have to get them through Detroit Speed.

It's time for an update.

MotiV8r is back home!! It feels good to have it back in the garage with the LSA in it. Thanks to the the guys at JCG for doing such an awesome job.

And so begins the wiring of MotiV8r.

The Chevrolet Performance LSA wire harness is nicely labeled and super easy to understand.

[Larry Callahan]

Before I get too far along with the wiring I need to stop and insulate the trans tunnel and pretty much the underside of the entire car. It is my goal to make MotiV8r as pleasant to drive as it is fun. I decided to use some Design Engineering Tunnel Shield II to insulate around the trans tunnel and above the exhaust including the catalytic converters. I might even cover what I can of the fuel tank.

Larry,

Have you thought about redoing the wiring harness in the more visible areas? It's not hard to do and would add a clean custom touch.

Andrew

[Larry Callahan]

Yep, I am making some changes to it.

Where is the dash from

[Larry Callahan]

It's a one off deal.

Where can I find out more about the ABS system ect....

[Motown 454]

Larry who's glass did you use in Motv8r ? Was it from Frank? I have his Smoked kit and was wondering how it fit?

As soon as I have more info I will post it. My guy has dropped off the face of the planet and I'm having a hard time getting info and the software.
