Very Nice Build

Great build.
When possible if you can get pics of your lt header clearance in the engine
Bay for me. I'm slowly building mine and the exhaust is concerning me for clearance.
Also did you end up using the stock truck pan? I know you got the car intake but I'm using the truck intake and I don't think I'm going to have hood clearance based on my rough measurements on the current 350 position and the ls truck pan and intake combo.

Cool man glad ya like it! Yes I am using the stock truck pan and when aired out it will clear the ground by about a 1/2 inch. I wasn't planning on swapping out the intake manifold at first but found a killer price on a manifold setup so I couldn't pass it up. As far as running the truck intake with stock hood with a bodydrop I've seen it done but it was so close he couldn't run a intake manifold vortec cover so you had to look at that ugly manifold. So it can be done but your prob better off searching for a good deal on a car manifold, it will make your life way easier! Also spend the money on the full adjust Dirty Dingo mounts! They are freakin' awesome! It will allow you to use your stock driveshaft if you want which is great, also you can place the motor wherever you want it.

badass fuel cell son!!!.jpgWorking on this 22 gal stainless fuel cell, for use with 99-06 fuel pump. Fits nice between that bent tubing!

Thanks! I did assume the cover would have to go so I took care of the ugliness.

I actually thought about fabricating my own brackets so I can get the pan as low as I can. But I have seen the dingo mounts and they aren't overpriced like some others so thanks for the heads up!
I was thinking of swapping out the pan but if it worked for you ill give it a shot before I invest in a new pan.
Thanks again.

the heads have been off of your motor at one point or another. those sharpy lines on the head bolts are to help degree the bolts. with that cam, i wouldnt be able to keep myself from pulling 1 head to see what's going on inside.

Those pics were from when he got it back from his engine builder...they ported the heads and did a basic rebuild on it. I would hope the heads came off for all that to be done.

Yes sir that motor has been completely gone thru, we have to finish all the sheet metal work on the firewall and trans tunnel before we yank the motor out and get it ready for paint. It's been a longer process than I first thought but when everything under the body is 100% new and fully custom on top of that i should've known it was going to take longer than expected... Lol

makes sense. for some reason i was thinking it was just a pull out with a big cam in it.

Well I did end up ditching the stock 6.0 oil pan, the trans tunnel would be too big and look shitty, also I didn't like how the headers would line up with the exhaust. Sooo I ordered up an fbody camaro oil pan kit to solve this issue, and will allow us to drop the motor 1.25" and it will make for a much smaller trans tunnel, and the headers will line up about perfect! Only issue will be with the exhaust and the crossmember, so we are building new crossmembers which will allow the exhaust tubing to run through the crossmember, should be pretty sweet once its all wrapped up.
