I dont know if we could raise the motor or what but im def looking for a way to stick thoughs things in there. what computer are you gonna use? i ended up using a great one from redline. I also went with a solid 700R4. I was told by many that wouldnt work but it works perfect and way more fun than the 5 speed i had.

I have decided to go with the stock manifolds for now. I plan to box my frame from front to back. If the manifolds get in the way I will just notch it out. I went with the tubular motor mounts from CPP. I fabricated a plat and welded the mounts to the plate then bolted to the motor. Then I pulled everything out to smooth my firwall(still in progress) and then I will route all the wires and mountthe Computer. I got the whole wiring harness including the under dash and gauges wires. I'm going to use the stock CPU with a reprogram. I found a stock 4L60E from o early 2007 silverado with only 1600 miles on it. I have been very busy at work and with other projects to get pictures taken and updates to my uild but I will be coming soon. Thanks for the information and good luck.
