And this one.....

I apologize for not posting results in so long but my father passed from a tough bout with cancer in October and that along with another family crisis I just haven't felt like browsing forums.

At this time I can report that I've finished up my TA suspension (although I've decided I do need to put it on a diet), installed a new floor pan, a new fuel system end to end for the LS, installed the LS and T56 with the Holley system (mounts, long tube headers, cross member that I altered to accommodate the front mount of the TA, and HP EFI).

I'm now in the process of setting up the DSE dash insert with custom Speed Hut gauges, adding the Vintage air Gen IV, finally installing the Ridetech AirRide compressor system (placing a 3 gal tank in the pockets at rear of quarters on both sides, been using simple valves to add air up to this point). I'll add pictures of this process when I can collect them from my shop camera.

Made my first trip to mom's on Christmas and can say I really like the LS platform! Its been a joy to drive as long as I stay away from parking lots. I've lost a lot of turning radius with the Ridetech Tru Turn system. Slowly trying to sort through that issue. At this time, I imagine my only option is to move the Muscle Bar rearward on the frame to allow more turn radius and maybe notch the frame as needed at the rear. As others have noticed, my front wheels are well behind the center line of the wheel opening, which is causing the rear of the front tires to rub on the inner fender well during turning. I fear that Ridetech may have sent me the wrong control arms.

At this time my specs are as follows:

Ridetech Tru Turn system complete with TQ Airsprings and Muscle Bars
18X9.5 True Forged Competitions with 5.75" bs
275/35/18's
+5 Caster -1.5 Camber 1/16" toe in
Kore 3 C6 ZO6 hubs/rotors
Stock Height Frame bushings
Stock Subframe

A few more updates

What power steering hoses are those? They look great.

Don

When I saw the picture of the power steering lines, I scrolled down to ask the same question.

They are from "Gotta Show". Very nice product but in the end I was unable to resolve a poor seal at the steering box. I have instead gone with adapters to AN hose. I was unable to tighten their fitting enough to eliminate the leak without pulling threads on their fitting eventually. I was able to keep my new Delphi 670 and with adaptors and AN hose eliminate the leak all together.

If you guys are using an OEM box it should be a non issue for you. Tom Lee altered a new Delphi 670 to work with OEM hoses by using one of his adaptors, which raises the sealing surface in the port, not allowing enough thread engagement. Had I not altered the 670 and had Gotta Show make metric ends I would've been fine. No ones fault on either side, just wouldn't work out the way I was using it.

I should make mention for those who still wish to use the Ridetech Tru Turn system and stuff a 275/35/18 in their wheel house, this is basically what I have done to get the clearances inside the wheel house. It is very crude, and still incomplete to this day but it does function and I'll get around to finish welding, cleaning up, and sealing it proper eventually. lol

Everything I have done so far is for a driving mock up. I have plans of installing a new crate LS3 later and have decided to ditch the twin turbos and the Maggy for a Pro Charger. Man I love the power curve on the DS1's.

Most recent update. I've been driving the car a lot more and I'm really enjoying it. Probably just enjoy the car for a year or two, and tear it down for a proper restore.
