Builds DINGO- 60FZJ-UTE LS3 EROD (PROVEN CA SMOG) (3 Viewers)

[White Stripe]

That sump going out to the side like that almost certainly won’t work with a front driveshaft.

Also, what I have heard from multiple reputable sources is that the OEM pans are designed to be a structural member with the block, and that the aftermarket stamped/welded sheetmetal pans are not truely adequate.

How much strength to the block does it add? Has anyone damaged a LS block with a sheet metal oil pan and not having the suppport of the aluminum? I think Canton does make pans that don't bulge out like that.

ACC Drive assy arrived-- Torque converter, flexplate, starter, PS pump, AC compressor, brackets, serpentine belts, balancer and misc other pieces arrived.

This will be my last post for a bit. Need to get some other things finished up with my 60s and a possible 200 for Andrea.

@mryanangel this will give you some food for thought.

Well after going back and forth multiple times and finally tracking down the original owner of the 60 donor body to get a new CLEAN title... I've decided to build the 140 series canopy rig.

So I'm back!

So you were able to get the title? If so glad I was able to help out and look forward to the rest of the build.

Yes, clean title from WA arrived today and I have the signed off VIN inspection from CHP. So, Monday I'll run get the CA title transfer and put it on NON-OP status. Thanks for keeping that guys phone number.

I just wanted a title in my name before starting on this build. I pretty much have everything to put it all together now. Just a few bits and pieces remain and A LOT OF SPARE TIME, which I don't have right now.

I'm not sure if this will ever be registered in CA, but I plan to make it where it can with no problems.

If anyone is looking for 80 parts I'll have a few in the near future off the 92.

The 3FE is in good running condition.

Smoke is hit of miss daily. It's still driving me out of the shop by 1-2PM everyday. Been going in early (4-5AM) to try and get a decent days work in.

The smoke just drifts in all day. The ash has let up a bit. I looked out the front door one day last week and it looked like the parking lot was dusted with snow.

A couple have asked about the 3FE..

I'll get more pics and a video if anyone is interested.

Nice, I was just curious. If my 3FE goes most likely go LS of some sort...

8 gang push button accessory switches arrived. I'll put one in the cab and one or two in the canopy.

I have these in 6 and 8 button varieties that will be available for sale soon as well.

Quick check on the Corbeau seats. I only ordered the one pair instead of the two with all the back and forth with the 60 and 80 base. I'll need to see how much of the of the wheel wells I cut out for the second pair to fit right.
