    Drivers is correct, Passenger side is wrong. We didn't notice we installed it wrong till we pulled the motor. I replaced them when I swapped in the T56 two years ago.

              LPLV spray gun, 4 coats factory GM 81 bright red and 2 coats of clear. Made the paint on the outside look like hell too, lol. Thats the next big project for this car at a later date.

                  Went and seen the car last night and after the paint had some dry time it looks even better. This was my first time spraying car paint and was really nervous and didn't want any runs. I am really happy with how this engine bay turned out. Makes me want to paint the whole car.....

                    Update time.

                    Got the Quarter Master hydraulic throw out bearing ready so I could measure for the proper shim but all in all I think this setup well work much better then the LT1 pull style setup.







                    Had to pull the k member and flip the motor mounts again. We flipped the one that was right and made them both backwards and realised it when the motor was half way into the bay.

                    Just as I thought I had to do a little grinding and adjusting on the k member to get the headers to clear but it wasn't much so that is done. Mocked up some other things while the motor was in the bay also. So far everything is fitting with no issues.
