95 chevy finally getting the LS2

[PurpleMinivan]

Looks good in there. Did you do a crank spacer, longer bolts and flat flexplate so you can continue to use your stock transmission or are you going to swap to a 300mm style LSx transmission from something late model?

He's going to buy my 70e

I've used a forklift as many times as a hoist (for my engines, not customers).

From the sound of it, you're gonna give him your 70 for part of what he's going to do for you....

Ill have to delay your finish time with $$$ but then you will buy more go fast parts. I am going to lose either way lol. Looking good.


Are you using that yellow pan as a toilet to get it done faster?

it was a toilet for the motor, wasn't quite big enough!

The tranny I have in it is built, so I'm going to run it as long as it will permit. lol. I'm having Circle D build me a converter that will bolt directly to the dished plate and fit the older trans.

The true sign of a fat kid that doesn't want to expel the extra energy to use a cherry picker... Heaven forbid you have to crank the lever a few times.
Hey you gotta work smarter instead of harder!
FAT A55!!!!

P.S. You made a bigger mess of the floor than I did with my motor swap... both of them put together.

you must have forgot the big azz mess your tranny made...

Nahh I want nothing to do with a 60-70, when mine goes it will replaced with a 80...

Ok heres a few more pics, a few wires removed from the 95 harness, and the fork lift driver, shes had all of her training already this year
Also the motor mounts that I ended up using, painted ones.

that extra inch of clearance in the front will be nice plus it will help with the weight distribution.

Have you tried to fit the alternator to the engine with the new mounts? Its going to be hairy if you have fbody brackets.

I haven't tried the Fbody components, I have the truck stuff and it all fits fine with the exception of the AC compressor. I'm using the stock 95 one mounted up top on the pass side. It has tons of room between the accessories and the electric fans.

i was going to tell you to use the stock 95 a/c too, bc having that one on bottom stinks big time. I am going to have to ponder what to do with mine

[SCIV]

Nice work! I should have dropped mine off there so you could practice more.

Mmmm...it is like 80* today. Blizzard time!!
