Nice progress! That LS3 is beautiful.

Motor is in! Fit's like a glove!

Only thing is we are going to do camaro accessories so that the A/C compressor doesn't get in the way of the battery. And we also have to change water pumps since the e rod kit came with an LSA style pump.. Which is odd, but oh well.

Decent clearance with this pan, and with a lift there should be even more so.

Will you be leaving the 242 as a AWD/4hi/4low case, or swapping parts to make it 2wd/AWD/4hi/4low?

Going to go full time 4wd.

Radiator and hydroboost are in! Novak makes some amazing stuff! (the hydroboost isn't mounted correctly in that picture BTW, I didn't realize it utilizes the old plate off of the stock booster)

Trans and transfer case are in! Just need to figure out a way to mount it to the cross member now...

I have about an inch of clearance with the motor mounts on the middle setting.

I just mounted mine this afternoon. I've got a 4l60 mated to a NP208(GM, pass drop). I used a stock rubber mount and made a riser that bolts between the mount and crossmember. My crossmember is in the rear set of holes. I took a few pics and plan on adding them to my build thread.

Interesting. I'll subscribe to that.

And we have a color!

That's green.

That's "very" green.

It's not quite as wild as it looks.

It's a goldish green with just a tad more green, it definitely pops in the sun, but it's not snake skin green like the picture makes it out to be.

Been a while since I've updated

Frame is powdercoated!

I really like the color! Are you planning any stripes, 2-tone, or all one color green?
