I did, only because I left the f-body pan on in the Vette. I have since acquired a winged Vette pan that I think I can use in the C2.


I saw the pics in your photobucket and was wondering if you would need to cut the crossmember on the frame to use that pan?
It would be very close. Not sure. Pics below.


Do you know if the Holley pan will work on a stroked engine?
That I do not know

kinda hard to see, but it looks like pan would clear, but it would be tight when you drop the motor in with a trans on it. Just motor, probably would go.

Engine Report
 
Hello Aaron,
Any feedback on that new engine from the Colorado event?
Thanks

I was parked next to you in the red Camaro during the Motorstate Challenge Autocross day.

It's Paul, right?
yes, the motor is AWESOME. The 5400 ft elevation we were at wasn't the best for making power. The Holley efi did adjust, but with less air, it's still down on power...felt like 75-100 less. Now that I'm back in MI, and put the tune back in that was there before we left, its all back to normal awesomeness! It blows the tires off at 45mph in second gear with a throttle roll on. I keep trying to see if it will hook, but it never does :D

Hope you are enjoying that beautiful camaro the Dutchboys built you!

There are a few pics from USCA at Pike's Peak International Raceway last weekend. Had a blast making the trip from MI to CO with Tom and Deb Farrington. We both were representing Jet-Hot, what a great company, big thanks to Frank Cottone!

Didn't do too shabby either, ended up 4th in GTV behind Jake Rozelle, James Shipka, and Tom in third. Good company to be with!

That last pic is an awesome shot. That had to be fun.

I do notice that there is something red on the front of the Camaro. I think it may be a towhook?

I also notice that the Chevelle doesn't have one. Are they only required for Camaros?:underchair:

I can answer that ... that's the transponder tie wrapped to Efrain's tow hook!

Aaron ... those are some nice pics! Glad you and the gang made the trip and the g'velle is running well back home, this altitude does mess with an engine and sometimes people, lol.

See you next year fer sure!

Thanks, it was nice to meet you, glad you liked the "show". Tom and I had a great time out there. Beautiful country for sure!

Is your car done yet? :underchair:

We did Herb. Excellent. Too short trip:track time ratio though. 50 hours of trip time in 4 days :wacko:

Yeah, but you would probably do it again in a heartbeat!

Good memory you got there! Or maybe you remember because you had Paul x 2 hanging out at the autocross that day, and the other Paul got a ride in the Vette.
Congrats on the new engine and it should really transform the car and take it to another level on the fun meter.
Yes, the Camaro is very nice, to the point that it's somewhat challenging for me to beat on it at the track. Should have left it in primer and I would have had a true track car.
I've been looking at various LS3 motors, which was why I asked about your Mast motor because I have a 67 Chevelle that needs an LS engine.

Take Care!
