      This is where I'm at until the funds increase:

      Texas Speed 370cu LQ9 shortblock



      Installed front distributor conversion and Aviaid dry Sump pan



      G-Force T56 input shaft replaced and McLeod bellhousing installed for LS.


      Went with a steel McLeod flywheel this time over the aluminum...


      McLeod RST Twin Disc installed


      Mocking up motor mounts...The motor moved forward 2" from the Ford location. 1" beacause of the bellhousing depth and 1" for the whole thing for additional firewall clearance. Notice I was still able to pick-up the rear crossbar I added. I'm keeping the weight in the same place the Ford was..worked out that the centerline of the motor mount was directly over the crossbar..


      Front clip painted and hopefully motor in for good...Borrowed buddies heads during mock-up.


      Suspension back on..
