Can you tell me how they removed the crank pully with the motor still in the car? I mean the power steering rack is right there in front of it, so it looks like one would have to drop the motor a bit.

You have to take the steering rack out.... Not that bad of a job, just a little messy

Nice!!! You will like!!

I see the oil pump is still on, so I guess you are not installing a C5-R timing chain??

Keep us posted!!

I am confused
Are those heads re worked by PRC? They are not PRC LS7x 265cc CNC Heads, the heads on the car still have the GM stamp on them.
