Trust me You may be right. It's that compulsive behavior problem that i have. After seeing your Nova it got me really excited about this car. The Nova was perfect and it has been a pretty strong inspiration for this project.

2nd Chance Camaro - Pypes LS1 Block & G-Force Crossmember Install

Pypes LS1 Block & G-Force Crossmember Install
Posted: Sept 026 11 www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Instead of installing the LS1 block with a cherry picker I ordered up a Pypes mock up block from www.summitracing.com . Cool product just horrible shipping box as it took 3 of them to get me one that wasn't cracked. All they
did was drop it in a box and ship it ( these were drop shipped direct from Pypes not Summit Racing ) without any packing material.



Picked up a set of American Made Engine set back plates from Edelbrock.



Here is picture of block #3 from Pypes. Seems they are aware of the problem and it there solution is drywall screws and epoxy. I kept this one as it was the best of the 3.





Set back plates worked great. I still have to move the factory Stands back about an inch so the cross member bolts line up.



It looks like the F-Body oil pan is going to work or at least be close.



Empty 700r case that I kept from previous projects



Installed the G-Force Cross member and talk about a great fit. There is plenty of clearance and the lowest point doesn't hang below the stock Sub-Frame.



I need to move the motor back about an inch. Really happy as there is plenty of room up front to move the motor back.



Since the car will be sitting pretty low with the new Ride-Tech Coil-Over suspension I wanted to make sure the cross member wouldn't hit the ground and the guys at G-Force did a great job.
