You outdo yourself again. Incredible work as usual, I'm excited to see the finished product.

Re: Dropmember Rear 63-72 Spy Pic

Nice!
On a side note..... I attempted to slide the LSx into the truck tonight. Using some plates that have been scribed w/the typical 'LS to sbc' mount orientation, the drivetrain is pretty close. The 4l80e required removing more of the trans tunnel than I had hoped & I'm thinking I might need to get a f-body oil pan for better bottom end clearance for servicing entrance/exit. It's a good thing these motors don't have distibutors @ the back of the manifold. The fit is tighter than my wallet ;) ..... |

I would imagine the rear link set up will be like the 73-87 kits Porterbuilt makes. pics of the 73-87 kit are on the attached link.

So it's a bolt-in notch/bridge?

I made 'adapter' plates that are bolted to the LS block & prepped them for both the 'stock' sbc location as well as the 1" set back. After my initial attempt last night, the sbc holes in the plate were very close. The issue I did run into was between the height of the truck intake & the depth of the truck pans sump it was very difficult to get a confirmation that adapter plates will work. From info I found via the net, the f-body pan is 3" more shallow vs. the truck pan. What I'm trying to confirm @ this time is specifics on the Caddy CTSv pan. It's very similar to the f-body pan dimensionally & apparently uses the same windage tray as the trucks (which means less stuff to buy/mess with). |

It is a bolt-on... 100% just like the 73-87 kit. This pic is not of a finished piece. Just a teazer shot. Nate |

How much farther forward are the LSx motor-mount tower tabs on the c.member vs. the sbc tabs? |
