Good progress and yes, all the little stuff parts runs really take time. The Camaro manifolds do fit nicely.

They are a great ergonomical, economical AND performance choice when doing most LS swaps!

Well I had a hard time deciding what to do with the tank. The ECE tank looks great but it was 8 weeks away and $1800 Canadian. I checked my life insurance policy and decided to modify the original tank to accept the 2003 fuel pump module. I ended up using the stock float and gauge sender. Not pretty but it works. I planned on using the module from the parts truck but decided on a new delco unit.

I also blasted the manifolds and painted them with VHT flame.proof paint. I have had very good results with it.

Here is a shot of the cts-v oil pan and painted manifolds. I amnusing the dirty dingo mounts. Which raise the engine 1/2" or so

Looks beautiful inside and out Mario! Loved the sound of it when you took off today. Hopefully someday mine will be half as nice as yours.
