Notched the gto oil pan today



Test fitted with manifolds and oil pan, hx52 mocked up for size

[Dirk HX35]

My friend welded up the gto pan and water pump.

Why did you need to weld the water pump?

Didn't feel like running lines to heater core

[blusylver]

Ahh. I need to do the same.

after skimming your thread, we have a lot in common. I was going to go s52 turbo but after discovering this craziness I decided on FI ls6

Is it going to be a pain to fit your pulley set up?

[blusylver]

no, I have tons of room. I decided to but the rad on the outside of the core support. i have to have the in and outlets locations moved but im able to run a 24.5x18x2.25 and a 16" spal pull fan. once i finish up the rear sub frame and TA ill be working on the radiator and plumbing

I really like the e28 rear subframe, im glad i decided to go that route. The axles seem to be much stronger, and making the polly bushings took me about 30 min on a lathe and about 10 on the mill.

Bought a large case 210mm 3.62 e46 m3 lsd, because I don't want to worry about the 188mm medium diff down the road.

[Dirk HX35]

Finally got a chance to pull the old diff out and mock up the e46 m3 diff.


Also, bought rear lips for the fittipaldis and black chrome bolts and a rare square headlight front end to go with the louvers haha

Not my car
