It was planned to be a dry sump with the ls7 but we decided to go wet sump on this engine.

I'd say good eye, I took the picture and still don't see what you're talking about, haha. 3rd bolt back from where, in which picture?

Might be just some chipped paint. Hard to tell from the picture.

Here is the cropped image:

I forgot to tell y'all that is a small dab of silicon sealant that is strung out on the side of the block, nothing to worry about

Been busy working and have some more updates to share with you guys. Got more work done on the engine mounts and frame.

We'll get some custom Kooks headers on it in a few weeks.

Hey all,

Been busy working on a new custom transmission crossmember. That is the Tremec T-56 Magnum 6sp transmission. Going into the Art Morrison MaxG full frame chassis.

This image shows the issue the best ----- by the time you get some rearward movement going to remove the transmission -- the tailshaft is now captured on the crossmember and won't allow you to start dropping the tranny "down and out". This is the piece that either needs to be eliminated or made removable.

Between the body tunnel and this piece --- it gets real tight real quick back there.

Maybe they saw that one coming.

I have the same issue with a torque arm crossmember, so I feel your pain!

Thanks for the tip Greg, I knew it was gonna be tough to remove like it was. I think I'll make it removeable. Better to catch it now than when it's done.
