That GM looks perfect in that bay.

Mother of God. Didn't know what you were talking about when you referenced this in you last email. I've been out of the loop for a month I guess...

I really want to paint my undercarriage. Looks awesome Jake! S50 e21 oh yeah!

Started fitting the engine today...

First of all the LS3 oil pan does not fit.
I happened to have an LS1 oil pan on hand (I knew it was a good idea to hang onto it).

Here is the difference between the two pans

[pacmanE30]

that LS is just sexy and the undercarriage is looking real good. keep it up, in the for the finished product.

Took the top off the engine crate. Going to start fitting it on Friday.

Man this thing is clean...it does only have 27k on it so pretty much brand new.

[GreasyE30]

LSx is gonna be sweet!

Great job!! Can't wait for more

[jakeb]

More done on the bottom....only one picture right now as the battery went dead right as I was taking the picture.

Might need a little touching up here and there once it is all dry. Bottom of the frame rails up front still need to be cleaned.



Can't wait to stat hanging new parts. Its going to be so nice with everything clean.

What are you using to paint the undercarriage?

It's called chassis saver...high solids paint, resists just about anything.

atleast you got a lift!!! i had to do these on stands..... blows!

Anyways.... cool car man!

Oh man...that would be the worst. I am really spoiled. I don't want to do anything not on the lift. Makes everything so much easier.

What are you using to paint the undercarriage?

[jakeb]

Hard to get very good pictures but the bottom is just about half painted. Paint will end up a stain black.

It's actually already been sold to a guy in Chicago. I am going to swap it into his e21 this spring.

Whats your customer going to do with the s50 and Zf?
