Re: John's LS 49 Dodge
Pic #1 here it is with all components bolted back up.
Pic #2 the front Dog house.. (had to do some trimming to get it to fit around the new A-Arms)
This is where we ran into problem #2...The LS truck engine's oil pan is very tall or deep if you will...and the configuration of the pan in conjunction with the front crossmember being so close to the firewall has revealed a Major issue!!!
The solution is the firewall will need to be cut out and recessed to allow to engine to sit back a bit more, on top of this the oil pan would need to be replaced with a shorter one from a Camaro GM part #12628771 (this is a low profile pan 5" depth at sump) You can find this in a full kit form (pan,gasket,pick up tube and dipstick and windage tray) look around diff. places for best price..
Till next time
Mark...
