    Delray project

    Long time Lerker here. I figured it was about time I post a few pics of my project. I purchased this car 8 years ago a c4 front clip off C-nut quite a while ago too. Life happened so things were put on hold. I’ve been working on this off and on for the last 2 years. C4 front and rear suspension, narrowed rear, 2015 LT1 ( wish I had gone with an LS as originally planned) T56 magnum.
    I’m waiting on some parts to finish off the exhaust and just put the body back on the frame so I can measure for wheels. I made some mods to the rear so it sits up higher into the frame , hoping to run18s up front and 19s or 20s without affecting the rake too much.
    I’ve welded on stand-off brackets in the inside of the firewall so I can attach relays, ecm and fuse panel.

    Looks like you have a great project there.

    No reflection on you, I just wish there was an easy software solution to pictures that are rotated from what's intended. I see it everywhere these days.

    I posted using my phone. They don’t show upside down on here. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue ?

    If you are viewing on a computer (rather than a smart phone), you can 'right click' and select ' Open in new window', and they should display correctly in the new window...

    My computer doesn't give me this option with a right click. Doesn't matter, why should I have to do that?

    MikeV8Nut posted in response to a question why he regretted changing engine from LS to LT:

    "Nothing wrong with the engineering behind the motor, it just made a lot of extra work for me going this route."

    That's what I've been trying to tell Richard... to stick with what he knows, unless he just LIKES headaches and solving 'new' problems...

    I’m sure the engine will fit fine in other applications but it was a tight fit for me with the c4 setup and stock c7 accessories
