Isn't that a pretty good rake on the engine? Is that going to affect the oil level etc too?
Glad to see the abs cleared

Will the Hood clear or will a cut out be required?

Hood clears just fine. intake is the least of my worries that is super easy. the pick up is in the rear so no the rake wont mess wit the oiling of the motor. its just about the same rake wise as any other LS we have done.

Thanks for the response
Pics probably make the rake appear more extreme than it actually is.
Can't wait for more progress.

^Was that really necessary?

Now it's time for the tough part, the wiring.

I'm still trying to understand the how the rake and the drivetrain angles are going to work long term.

I'm with you. I wish these guys all the best but I've done LOTS of LSx cars, swaps and such and that kind of driveline angle looks like a recipe for lots of problems down the road. Time will tell.
