Been awhile since I have posted been busy working on the car, other car projects and other things. Here's an update of the progress!

I decided to change the core support and go to a mustang style engine bay with the fixed inner wheel wells. It looks alot better than what GM came up with. Here is the start of it.

I chose a wider radiator than what a stock Camaro to get more cooling capacity and I had room to widen it. I found some nice 12" fans that fit perfectly behind the radiator. I made a shroud for it instead of trying to buy one. It was alot cheaper and easier to make my own

Love the fab work

Just a suggestion - I see your using the c5 accessory drive.

The bolt that holds the power steering reservoir tank and bolts into the head - make sure you notch that bolt hole.

It makes it a lot easier having to service/remove that in the future.

I just experienced that pain working on my c6!
