Default Dry sump for LS2

Just an idea Steve, since you are getting a new crankshaft for the new motor why don't you get it with an LS7 snout to run the LS7 oil pump, timing chain cover, oil pan, & run an aftermarket oil tank!!!! The harmonic balancer should also work with your current drive you have?? If not just get an ATI dampner & we will machine a crank pulley for you.. If I was building an LS motor from scratch.. This how I would do it GM spent a good chunk of $$$ to develop this dry sump system!!

Because I'm a less is more guy and every pound I add to the car kills me. Plus I've had zero oil issues with my modded Canton pan, even at sustained 1.2+g left and right turns. Also, the LS7 pan won't clear my rack unless I raise the engine and that's a non-starter.

Maybe this hood catch might look good also!!!!

Still have my shipping address???? lol I only see one problem. Since they are thicker where the bolts go through it might hit my DSE closeout panel. As it is I have to use rounded allen bolts and they still almost touch. Ideas?

Those are so sweet.. you're really making some nice stuff Cris. We are doing a billet guide and you should feature something very unique like this in it. I will call you about it. Get that website done!

As for your brake line clamp. After seeing this I will never again weld brake line tabs to a housing. With these I can rotate and slide them to just the right spot. Here's a shot:

This car is like a supermodel. Every thinks it's the sexiest thing in the world and couldn't be more perfect...but someone somewhere isn't happy with it.
