I never would have thought of trying it, but it is definitely an improvement. Good job!

I was surprised to find anything related to an 8.3 Cummins....no matter how old the thread is.

6C 6CT is big and so is the Allison 3060 behind it. Ive go one and am struggling to find something big enough to use it.

This thing is gonna take a lot of work to be driveable down low. The rockers aren't the lowest points on this car. It needs a "body drop" to raise the floors.

Rubber bands are mounted.

They came in. Pretty wide for a 225.

I ordered 225/35r17 for the front. That is the shortest tire I found that was rated for a 17x8.5 wheel. I'm shooting for this...it looks like it should have clearance to turn.

I gotta figure out front tire size. Right now there is a 255/45r17 up there and it hits everywhere. I'm hoping 245/40r17 is just smaller enough to clear. I gotta get under there and measure. I have seen as small as 205/40r17 on one, but it had airbags. It looks cool all the way down. But I...

First attempt at corvette swap ended up looking like a squatted truck. Not sure how I missed so badly.....stock vette and stock benz were similar wheelbase and weight. Yes the engine is in the car in this pic. Lower control arm should have been flat with the world. I looked for a new...

Holley oil pan installed along with C4 SBC motor mounts via adapter plates. Clearance is going to be great. Sump will be flush with the bottom of the front crossmember. But I'm going to have to cut the s*** out of the car to pull this off....the firewall needs to go back 10 inches. ....along...

I've had some downtime recovering from sanding a chunk of hide from a couple of fingers with an abrasive paint stripping disc. Almost good enough to get back to it. I just wanted to show the 1952 Mercedes steering wheel and column that I'm thinking of using.

I tried to install the LS on the C4 crossmember and found out that my 5th generation camaro oil pan is the wrong choice. It hits up front and hangs below the crossmember. I picked up a Holley 302-2 oil pan as a plan C. I also decided to change motor mounts so that i can easily find...

I found pictures on this one on a Japanese site. It looks like it has 20" ? Wheels maybe.....and it's on air.

Another picture of a 60's Ferrari dash that I'm robbing ideas from. My gauges. Big ones are 5", little ones 2.125" ( I think).

My father's day present.
