Look below the motor mount for the window in the block...just a junk block I'm using for test fit.

Guess I need to get out in the garage and starting assembling the puzzle...
Had heads resurfaced (.003"-.004"), cleaned, valves lapped, new seals, and assembled with my PRC duals.

Not sure what the angle is but it looks good so far with minimal cutting.
Accessories look great against the steering box.

Took about 2 hours before it finally started crinkle-ing... Turned out pretty good I think.

The updates should start being with more serious progress.
Tanks, Inc pump, Vette FPR, and lines shipped today. Have all engines parts except cam and air intake. Ordering those thurs as well as the trunion upgrade kit for the stock rockers.
Checking the trans angle tomorrow and assembling longblock.

Nice looking build!
What are your plans to change the TR6060 to a splined slider output shaft (T56 Magnum) versus the rag joint?
I'm curious since I want to do the same thing, since TR6060's are MUCH cheaper and more available used than the T56 Magnum."Step Brothers"Pro Toured 95 Pontiac Trans Am (Green Dragon)

Hey man...I've always seen you pop up on here or Tech. What area of WA you in?
I'm not changing over to a splined slide output...just getting this custom driveshaft. CV joint 3 bolt front and standard u joint at rear...

I am in lovely Bremerton!
Is that from the Drive Shaft Shop? What HP is that type of joint good to? It looks like they basically move the splined slider to the DS? Does that DS allow you to take the black rubber isolator off the output of the TR6060, and just bolt up the slider adapter potion? I am just very interested since I would love to not have to convert a TR6060 if I don't have to.
Also, how much more is that DS than a "normal" Aluminum DS?"Step Brothers"Pro Toured 95 Pontiac Trans Am (Green Dragon)

Very interesting driveshaft. I would also like to know more about it. With the tr6060 in the car does the cv portion of the driveshaft hit the tunnel?

Driveshaft runs about $900 and is rated for 900HP. Not sure about tunnel fitment.

Well I started the engine build...mocked it up since I can't install heads until the lifter trays show up in 2 days. I also found a issue that many others seem to have. Lower half of can bearings are showing copper...but after much reading it is normal and even shows on some new crate motors.

Well I took a quick few measurements to see how much of the crossmember I will have to cut to fit the 98-02 f-body oil pan. Looks like it will be minimal!
Needed to do something visibly productive last night so I took the ugly cast aluminum alternator/power steering bracket and ground down the casting marks and painted with theVHT crinkle paint.

Parking brake cable was cut under car so decided to mount the 2011 clutch/master assembly there. Need to shorten pedal about 1.5"as well as adjust angle but it should get the job done for now.

Well a local Chevelle guy and I are going to upgrade the trunions on the stock LS rockers. Stock rockers with Comp trunions male for an excellent set of rockers. My stock rockers sure were loose! Add a big cam to them and I'm sure some of the needle bearings in that cup would be in my motor.
Took the stock ones apart in the bedroom...fiance appreciated it. :D

Only took me about 35 minutes to install all 16 trunions! Think I may do a few more sets to sell.

Bumpstick ordered this morning...:D
Thunder Racing seems to be having some business issues so I called Geoff @ EPS and bought a 226/234 .598/.601 113+2
His reputation is great and the EPS lobes seem to be very popular so I'm excited to finally get that purchase out of the way.
