I'm confused. You have a Z06, right? So there is no pan on the tranny, or near the trans for that matter. What bolt, at what location, and what did you torque it to?

 

yes

 

Installing a C5R 427 in a muscle car

 

.........I flunked out of dental school.

Good luck...

 

the more info you give, then better help is given.

 

Sorry, I had to walk away and kick my own ***
Always listen to that voice in the back of your head telling you to stop.
I was going to put the engine in the car (1968 pontiac catalina) tonight, along with a level 6 tranny so I can begin on the 3.73 gears.
I'm hopeing the auto parts store will have a f body oil pan bolt, the long 1 nearest to the tranny.

 

Hi There,
So center punch it & drill a starter hole & use a quality easy out & remove it.

Thanks, i've done that, now I have to find a long bolt today.

 

Since when is a 68 Pontiac Catalina a Muscle car?

 

While your advice is appreciated, you might consider that voice to be saying...

"Buy a decent torque wrench, you're working w/ aluminum parts now."

Broken bolts are only the beginning if you're going to guess on tightening. Warped oil pan, stripped threads, etc.

 

Kinda what I was thinking. Such a fine motor, and it's not even a Bonneville?

 

Ahh come on This thing will be bad *** and out run a few vette

 

If you dont use torque wrenches, you'll be suckin' hind titty from here to eternity, especially now with the aluminum everything that is LSx.

PS I put an LS1-4L60E combo into my old 82 Corvette and it was the best thing I could have done for that car, loss of weight, easy HP increase, and GM OEM fuel injection drive-ability.
