You'll be fine. They are mounting bosses for this:

Thanks for the info! I'm learning as I go. I've only done crate engines in the past.

[ruckusz28]

Updates. Power steering brackets from summit did not work from me. Poorly designed and came with almost all of the parts to install.

I went back with the old setup for now. See both mountings below.





Also got the ls1 fans in and wired.



I blew out my back yesterday so I'm not going to try to overdo it. We will see how I feel tomorrow.

Would love to hear about a little 3rd gen progress.

Would love to hear about a little 3rd gen progress.

How about one that is done and running and driving?

[ruckusz28]

Here's a fun story. I developed an arthritic joint condition and wasn't able to work on the car. Thanks to curt and his team, the car is back home and running.

Thanks to darren, big jon, paul, curt, brian, and everybody else that helped me work on this heap.

It's done now and will be on the road officially soon.

Nice! Glad to hear that all of those guys stepped up to help. I have dealt with or befriended all of those guys through this site. They are all good dudes. Did you get the air cleaner issue straightened out?

[ruckusz28]

It should clear. That whole issue was from a loose motor mount. When the engine torqued over, the air cleaner bent down.

Cool! What paint work did Curt do? It looks great!

[ruckusz28]

He did front fascia and rear fascia

[deeznuts94]

Looks good! I'll bet you are happy knowing that it is ready to go.

Wow, great news on the car! I was worried for it when I saw the Corvette show up.
