Alright well that's reassuring that I'm not crazy, because I think I am the only one using an F-body engine for this swap. Trust me I would have loved to get ahold of a GTO motor, but around here that's at least $5,000 and I just didn't have it....

Well I measured it and it's only shy heighth wise about 1 1/2", so I am going to put a 3" body lift which I was going to do anyways for more header clearance lol. Now It will just be dual purpose, so my truck will have about a 10" lift on it which will look sweet. I know I won't be able to race it though, too top heavy....

Bought the input shaft for the 4l60e today from the transmission shop, and got a new mini high torque starter for the motor. Slow but sure.....
