Hey JC - My dad mentioned the oil pan issues... it looks like they put an SBC oil pan on there.

93-97 LT1 Oil pan (note the square bottom below the timing cover area)


"86-98 SBC Chevy V8 Oil Pan"
(note how it's more circular)

Coming along nice man!

thanks guys.
Still have a few bugs to sort out again, larry and bigjon came over today hoping to get the motor in but the rubber seal for the real main seal was messed up from a buddy of mine putting it in so i have to go get another one before it goes back on. i also need to get some new head bolts and a bigger chain than the one i have right now to get my motor back on the suspension ( the links were just too small for any bolts to fit through). i will have most everything squared away by tonight so hopefully tomorrow will be a more productive day.

JC I won't be able to make it today, I got new radiator hose, and mine has slow leak so I need to get that done today. Weekend is out for me, got to many family things going on.

decided it was a nice day to finish up the t/a so we did! for the most part ..
we rolled it out and washed the dust off of it and let it see sunlight for the first time in months. after the pics all the sensors & lines & etc. have been connected and once my pushrods get here in the next couple days it'll be time to fire it up! theres a block behind the wheel because the driveshaft is still out of it atm because theres a chance i might be picking up an aluminum replacement tonight

[Darren]

Looking good JC keep up the good work man!

[Kwazrollinz28]

wish my car was even that close to being done, theres a aluminum Aftermarket driveshaft on craigslist from a guy in macomb wants 100

[98blackbeauty]

Lookin good JC, glad you got engine in the rest is easy.

[.DetroitKing.]

well im gonna hold off on the driveshaft for now, rusty ( syn ) offered to sell me the slp catback off his trans am for a price I cant refuse. so priorities first, and my pushrods STILL arent here yet

[bigjon88]
