Sorry to hear about the problems, but glad to see them getting fixed so soon.

In the big picture of life.... it's not a bad thing to have happen. Gotta keep it all in perspective. All part of the adventure.

Trey set me on an interesting path and I've learned something new... so it has it's sliver lining.

Car is looking great. It is certainly in good hands to get the issues sorted. What trans ratio did you go with?

It’s a 2.66... same as the old one. It’s worked well and I didn’t feel any need to change it. What are you running?

2.29 but had 6th gear swapped for a .58 among some other internal upgrades so it can still run in the low 2k rpm's 70-80 mph with 3.73 gears. Gearing is setup exactly like the 6th gen ZL1 basically. if the motor isn't happy with 3.73's I may go 3.90.

Smart combo and approach. 3.73's should work, let me know what you think once you've run it for awhile. Making a lot of notes for my next build.

Curtis,

do you have a picture of the engine vs firewall clearance?? I looked at page 107, hard to see, you have any pics showing clearance or from memory, thanks
