I took the roll bar supports and gave them a 10 degree stretch to make room for the valve covers. And again sweating if things will fit when the hood goes goes on. And it happened again. Things clearing just fine.

Hello Johan, to invert the evaporator was already posted in another build. I was attracted to the idea having all that space available, the hose length to take out the evaporator without disconnecting and not to deal with the tight wheel well. Since I did not hear anything this version not...

Hello Scott, This came to mind regarding the pulley. I hope it points you in the right direction. Aeromotive Model #21101

This will be so much fun!

It was a slow weekend on the SLC but I was able to remove another uncertainty about the installation of this motor. The exhaust system, I believed to become a major problem due to space issues and unknown parameters on angle and port locations. It turned out that simple LS7 headers actually seem...

Joel, Please try Intakehoses.com :thumbsup: for a larger variety of materials and sizes. Stephan

Fantastic looking SLC. Congrats!

Thanks Joel, I think these adapters could be an option to various SLC turbo and supercharger applications or even standard LS or any other engine with forward facing throttle bodies. They are good for positive and negative pressure. If someone is not into cutting body, firewall, structural...

Hello Ron, I think you have to move your parts offering to the Garage Sale section including info about shipping cost. Cheers

When I decided to go with this engine I was already concerned about the intake version being used. The Mercury engineers were smart enough to design the intake manifold symmetrical as know on the LS and I could have done the 180 degree trick. My problem is that I like the SLC body uncut as is...

I was able to create a mockup of the new cross brace from PVC tubing. Test fitted and ready to become reality. 1.5" DOM tubing and 5/8 tube adapters for the rod ends are on order.

That looks really clean Johan. I still have to figure mine out.

Joel was over today and helped me to set the body on to check if the rear shell will clear the engine. We set preliminary ride height to clear the wheels. We had to keep our fingers crossed when we lowered the rear. AND IT DOES FIT! Now I have to figure out the exhaust and rear cross brace...

I strapped the Graziano in, mounted the drive shafts and diffuser to check for clearances. Now since the transmission is in I have a better idea on how to support and to reinforce the diffuser.

Started to hang the transmission. Installed the guide sleeves for correct alignment. Those are $4.00 a pop from the friendly Audi dealer. They perfectly center the transaxle. The adapter plate has the relief pockets for them already machined. The transmission slid right into place using an...

The clutch was next in line. Again all by the book with no issues at all. This is a PEGA clutch with Ceramic and Kevlar facings. The Gallardos which race the Texas Mile are using this type of clutch. I think I will get a few miles out of it.

Moving forward to the flywheel installation. At this point I have to say a big "THANK YOU" to Fran and Kristin. I had an issues with the original flywheel and RCR exchanged it within a week without a problem. Fran even emailed me back on a Sunday after I noticed the issue. Nothing exiting to...

Here are some pictures showing me practicing and removing the timing covers for future service. All good, no issues

Hello Johan, Good to have you and welcome to the clubhouse. How is the project coming along? Please post some pictures. Cheers, Stephan

Thank you Joel! Swing by my house and take a peek. It looks way bigger in reality Here are some pictures of how this looks like when installed. The Holley oil pan is clearing the engine mounts by a hair. I drilled some relief holes for the 100mm long water connection flange bolts in order to...
