The GM hose kit to route oil to a remote oil cooler is expected to arrive today. Will post pix ASAP.
Also DP's LS3 E-Rod engine mounting brackets interfered with the LS7 headers. Consequently the decision was made to use the stock LS7 engine mounts and modify the frame to mate with those mounts. This has been done and the engine and transaxle installed. The engine/transaxle have been removed to allow final welding and dressing of the frame and mounts.
I think DP will look at and probably adopt a similar arrangement so that future D2's will accept all LS engines without frame changes.
Pix will be posted when that is done. In the meantime business and family obligations will take up most of my time for the next couple of days.
A friend that is a dragster chassis builder and header construction specialist is scheduled to take the car for several days next week so that he can construct the exhaust pipe and muffler combination. This assumes that the Magnaflow mufflers arrive in time as promised.
