LS Conversion Parts Problems

[Twentyover]

The pan isn't out of square like I thought- It's banging into something inside the engie. I levered the pickup away from the side of the block to the full extent of it's travel, and the condition improved.

It's possible that the intent was for the pan gasket to provide adequate clearance between the pan and the guts of the motor- of course, I'm unable to check that, since the pan cam without a gasket, instructions, part number for a gasket, or anything that would indicate Mast gave a rats a** about actually putting the pan on a motor. Guess that's too novel a concept for these boys from Texas.

At this point, I'm calling the Transdapt parts junk. Tough to screw up a flat plate with a half a dozen holes in it, but they have suceeeded. Good Work, guys! Again, inadequate instructions (little more than aparts list), and some of the screws don't fit.



I'm almost ready to tell the aftermarket to screw themselves and go back to a sbc.
