Depends on which way you're coming from. If coming up Sykes (with pick n pull on the left) you'd turn that corner and I'm on the right. Coming up Southern, yes, on the left before the turn for Pick n Pull.

I thought about doing this for an outlaw build, no weight and lots of torque should be a ton of fun.

There is surprisingly a decent amount of room in these cars for as small as they are.

Finished my rear brakes:

So I drover her around a bit. No plates/inspection so I kept it on the grounds.

No pics, but I lucked out and found two Buicks with L67s in them at the junk yard today so I got the 36lb injectors out of both. This paycheck I'll be picking up the LT1 heads so I can start the porting and polishing. Today I also grabbed my new oil pump and old pickup tube to bring home and tack weld in place.

Nice man. What trans are you using?

Making you silky smooth...

I haven't decided. The stock Getrag has proven to hold up, but this one is pretty high-mileage so I don't think I'd trust it without a rebuild. Otherwise it'll be an F23 or F40, but these need to be built to handle the torque.

Ive seen el dorado trannys used in builds like these also.

There's a guy here that has an ls3 strapped to a 6 speed out of a G6 I believe he had some adapter plate made for it

Yup, that would be the F40. Any of them will require an adapter plate, so long as I'm staying LTX (which I am). The Camaro? Well I may go to the dark side on that one. Honestly, I have no idea on the tranny. I am building this engine in hopes of 380-400 rwhp in a front-engine car. Most of the trannies out there won't handle more than 300lb/ft or so at the crank, including the F40 I believe.
