LS2 burns oil, should have done a legendary LS1 instead.

The goal is to have it completed by December.
Going to take it to Muscletheheat.com pro-touring style AutoX venue and of course the drag strip

Holy ****, I would have never thought to have done the cluster swap. I've purchased my SC specifically to drop in an LS3 in the following year so I will be following anything you post closely!

I'll get plenty soon. Very busy with other projects.
When I pull it out again In a few days, I'll make sure to clean up my hands and grab plenty of pix.
I really want to get her painted first and put the new headlamps on and wheels to,display the finally project as it's going up for sale after a few hits on the street and track.

I hope you let us in on the wiring you've done for the harness and cluster, i'm building a 5.3-t56 and have a crappy sc300 cluster right now that looks like ****. So damn clean with the GM cluster

I have seen some pretty sick builds on here, but this I think takes the cake. I wish you could have done a complete DIY for us to see just how much time and effort it took to get this done.

I am awaiting patiently for the uploaded pictures of this sick build. OH MY !!!!

Looks great man.!!!!

Looks like a sweet build. That radiator looks dwarfed next to that turbo.
