car progress
For those of you that don't know, i bought a nice package from speed inc. its well on its way to being done. :-) here are some pix for those of you that have been curious.
this is after cleaning the engine bay up a little bit.
accessories and what not pulled off
heads and intake off
inside the cylinder. they are smooth as ****!
underside of the car
shifter and what-not out
new LS2 flywheel
clutch in
old clutch/flywheel/pressure plate (can you tell i drive it hard?)
LS7 clutch on the left. Stock on the right.
rear coming down
rear on the ground
rear end on the ground. DTE Brace installed
new heads and headers in place (not bolted in)
i'm just waiting on a couple miscellaneous things and the car will be done. :-) can't wait to get the PCM back from Speed Inc (mail order tune. it is their SI5 cam. figured they'd know how to tune it best) and get this thing started!

Don't forget a FilterMAG when you get the engine back together. Do a Dimple™ Super Drain Plug too. Check the thread on "product introduction" for details.
