    This one, the LS376-480 is $8300 and makes more power and torque but still doesn't hit 500 ft-lb:

    I didn't know you guys cared so much about me having an engine you'd be proud of.

    If you REALLY cared, you could send me money, or just buy me the engine of your choice and drop ship it to me.

    I agree, a 4000 pound car needs 500+ftlb of torque to move it forward. Too bad it doesn't help it turn a corner better, with the extra heft.

    Oh, but those aluminum block engines do help them corner.

    I'm sure the iron block BBC will show up again in the C8, and eliminate the super charger.

    I don't give a shit what any one runs who brings their car to a track and lets the chips fall.

    Well, the C4 suspension in my Nomad puts the stock "updated" suspension to shame, so the extra 200 pounds or so doesn't mean crap. And I'll blow away any LS engine out of the corners with 600 ft-lb of torque under my toe.

    It should not take long, to fatigue fracture the heim joint on the front of your torque arm, if you can hook up that much power.
    Hiem joints are not designed for a bending load.

    If I may ask RD, what do you base this upon?

    For the LS Camaro version they show the shifter at 29.39", the mount at 26.56", and overall length at 31.88". All measurements from the front of the bellhousing, which is 5.51" deep.
    I have the body separated from the frame today, to do some work on the underside of the cargo area. I checked the trans measurements against the ones above. They are SPOT ON with my T56 trans.
