Many delays with people on vacation, holidays, exhaust guy doing the exhaust for an S2K-LS then the S2 guy wanted custom AC lines and aeroquip fittings for his radiator done at the same time.....
Hopefully more updates coming soon...

Good progress made on the weekend. The motor is in and not coming out anymore. Clutch is in, transmission mount is done. Waiting now for a banjo for the clutch master. Car will be going out for exhaust and AC lines shortly.
I was able to reuse the small AC line that goes to the condenser and runs on the driver's side.

We were going to do it Saturday, but got late running around looking for a banjo for the clutch master that we actually could not find.. Coming this next few days.

LS2 swap by KAB Customs with Pure Automotive Motec
Agreed. We just worked with the current space restriction and muffler configuration. It's not going to be a restriction for my N/A power level (it's proven really bad dented headers do not pose a restriction to HP until they are almost dented shut) and I'll change the exhaust if I ever go the FI route anyway.

3" Becomes a theoretical restriction a little below 400hp. I have a feeling it was a part of my issue with overheating the headers/exhaust and melting plug wires. I would be interested in the difference between exhaust on and headers dumped while your car was on the dyno.
Though I know another chassis where people scream that you need a 3" exhaust and 2.5" has been proven to be no issue until around 400whp. So who really knows lol Really excited to see this swap get up and running!
