68 Chevelle LQ4 W/4L80E Build - Lateral-g Forums

I asked the current garage to check on the status of the body mounts since the previous garage said the only installed 4/8 because the bolts were missing (complete bull****) only to find out that the only installed the front 2 and not with the correct number!! Installed the remaining body mounts that i ordered from P-S-T along with a new set of bolts and called it a night.

The autokraft pan and dirty dingo sliders did wonders, there is plenty of space between the crossmember and the pan. The 4L80 fit with no issues and no contact with the body floor. There was even more space after all 8 body mounts were put in place!

anyways, enough rambling...here are the pics

Plenty of space left for that sweet holley hi-ram!

Autokraft oil pan to crossmember clearance

The big boy 4L80E in with no major problems and still some space to spare

Thanks! its finally all coming together

18x9 Rally wheels wrapped with Nitto NT555 255/45R18

It seems i got sent the wrong set for the wilwood rear brakes. The backing plates are not for a chevy 10/12 bolt. They seem to be more for a ford bolt pattern
