Well, the LS1 and t56 fit quite nicely!

Remember the diff that burned up in Daytona? 

Since we are in EC class, plan is to use a Quaife LSD. Did some calcs based on tire diameter and t56 gearing and the 2.82:1 is far too tall. It would put us over 200mph in 5th gear. Carfolio.com says the e320 has a 3.08? If this is true, need to verify the LSD unit will work with it. That would put top of 5th at 190-ish gear-limited, but probably 170 in real world with wind resistance.

Been busy over the last couple weeks. A few wires away from starting! 

Quick run down:

Canton Racing oil pan, windage, oil filter adapter, flywheel cover.

PowerMaster min-starter

Hooker block hugger headers modified to fit

Modified f-body engine mounts

Re-enforced sub frame

A few of my favorites so far:

The LS1 sits approx. 4" rearward, 1" to the right (passenger side) and 1" lower. #2 cylinder is in line with the center of the front tires, can't wait to put it back on the scales.
