New engine is in. John is finishing off some final new changes to the cooling system. I switched out the RH water pump adapter for toyjets water pump adapter. It gives a lot more room between the adapter and the back of the car and it looks like you could take it off without removing the engine. The only issue with the water pump adapter is that it would like to have the electric water pump on the driver side of the motor. Anyone starting from scratch it would be easier to do. We are just re-routing the hose to bring it to the opposite side of the motor. The new LS1 long block looks like it is for the corvette with the batwing oil pan. It has a lower profile then the Camaro oil pan. Hopefully my skid plate will fit. The valley cover is the newer style and should yield a bit more horsepower.
