    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.
