My truck is 2 wheel drive and lowered,just wanted the added security of the oil pan being above the crossmember

First go at it
Had to slow it down a bit. I got the harness finished up and decided I would go ahead and get the extra parts I wanted and install them before I put the motor in. Gonna get cam,headers,valve springs, and my tranny was giving me some trouble so I carried it down to a buddy of mine that builds them for a refresh.

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...625_131738.jpg this is how she sits as of now. Cam, stall and new ls 2 timing chain has been installed.
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...705_185648.jpg got her in. Waiting on my brackets and pcm. Then I can order my headers and carry it to get the exhaust run.
Got my pcm and bracket kit from lextech and she is up and running. Waiting on my headers now so I can install my radiator support and get this thing to the exhaust shop and start enjoying it.
