                Okay, thanks. I am hoping to start on mine here before too long and I'm trying to finish gathering all the parts.

                  Any chance he will be fabbing more of those mounts? Is there a reason why you chose auto over manual?

                      Is the GTO pan the only one that will clear or will an f-body pan clear?

                        It does not work because the f body is rear sump all the oil is in the back and with the gto the oil is in the front im going to look for a hydroboost set up
