So I got some stuff done lol.
I started working out the turbo turn downs on the hotside. .080"w 304 stainless, and fully purge welded. This is my second time trying to weld stainless steel, so im pretty happy with how it turned out. I think im going to have to cut off the wastegate flange and add a 90° elbow. The waste gate just sits too far forward. After messing with that, I started working on getting the engine fitted up.
It is 4.5" farther back than stock. I did this for weight balance and turbo packaging. Unfortunatley that will mean fabricating a new firewall and trans tunnel. Ill get it hashed out lol. I ordered a bead roller this week.

Big ole 14.8" CTS-V brakes are on. These are one piece for now. Theyre actually 2#s lighter than the later 2 piece units. In the future I may mix it up. We will see.

Why do you need an adpater? I thought the LS engines bolted right up to the transmission, only having an extra bolt that the orignal SBC didn't use?
