Update on my build

I just posted an update on ls1tech on the conversion section.
Heres the url: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conver...iroc-swap.html

Whats been done.

Rear brake hard lines (on axle).
New driveshaft u-joints, including rear 1350 conversion joint. Driveshaft installed.
New rear output tranny seal.
Electrical is done (body part), everything works... lights, trunk etc.
Rear end mounted on the car.
Re-worked my tranny x-member to make it mate with my mwc torque arm. I still have to finish welding and painting it.

Now the pics.

Re: Update on my build

Had a lot of questions concerning the rear end. Its a Midwest Chassis Fabrication unit. Custom housing, 4.10, Ford 9" aluminum third center with true trac. I had to use kore3 brake backing plates to allow C6Z brakes to fit the rear flanges.

Thanks a lot for the comments! Im working pretty hard to make it as nice as possible. Rims are Bonspeed's Intense 5. 18x8 fronts and 18x10 rears with custom offsets to clear the C6Z brakes.

Where did you get those strut mounts and strut tower brace? Something like that is exactly what I'm looking for, to clear my hood and work with my coilover setup.

Strut mounts are J&M. You can get them at hotparts.com. The STB is a UMI piece. It works flawlessly with the aftermarket mounts.

Thanks! I always had a sweet spot for your car man. I ordered everything to start the thing. Im going to pick up the stuff in about 2 or 3 weeks. My headers are still backordered. Ill just wait to pick up everything at the same time.

Thanks a lot. the shaved door kit is a breeze to install. Pretty straight forward. Theres a good write up article that someone wrote here a few years ago. Im sure you could find it by using the seach button.

Re: Update on my build

Do you have more info on how you made that mwc torque arm with your transmission cross member? What x-member do you have? Or why did you have to do any modification? I'm thinking about going with a midwest fab 9" also.
