two claps and the SR jumped out of the bay

getting this lump out of the truck wasn't so easy... had to build my custom engine hoisting teepee to get it from the truck to the ground, it was up too high for the real engine hoist. but it's on the ground now, safe and sound, ready to be prepped for entry into the big empty bay.

with some quick eyeballed measuring the LS1 is narrower than the SR with the turbo attached by about 3 inches and is longer than the SR/trans by about 2-3 inches.

one sweet item that came on my transmission.... factory Hurst short throw shifter

I guess I have to hate you now. That thing is going to sound gnarly! What did it come out of?

LS1 wins!
