Re: LT1 GenV swap

Feeling confident the a/c compressor adapter mess is sorted:



Plenty of frame rail clearance



The motor mount stand is close, but a tad bit of trimming for when the motor mounts wear/sag is needed.

Shortened the stock transmission dipstick tube. Measured the bottom of the tube to the cold mark before modding it. Made the short end a slip fit so it can beheaded or tig welded. Just need to test fit one more time before joining them together. The dipstick indicator will just get cut and welded.. similar to the ls1 dipstick.
