Been on vacation all week, but worked on the car off/on and all day yesterday and today.

Pretty darned clean for 120k miles, car has obviously had regular oil changed with synthetic.


Borrowed a crane dual valve spring compressor to change the springs out.


Fresh 02-04 Z06 springs which are a little stiffer then the 01 spec springs. Also installed fresh rockers off a lower mileage car and lower mileage pushrods and rocker pedestals I had laying around.


Got a low mileage H-pipe from a 2004 Z06. The 02-04 piece has 2 cats vs. 4 on the 2001. Wrapped the area that passes under the bell housing and the section that passes under the trans. Keeping heat off the bellhousing keeps the clutch hydraulics cooler so the pedal works properly throughout a session and the rear part keeps the trans cooler.



Rear O2s plugged


Whole thing


LS2 timing chain, LS4 high-volume pump installed and crank drilled for ATI pin setup. Found a crack in the timing cover by the front main so will have to order a new one before getting it buttoned up and the new crank damper on.


AIR pump block-offs installed


Heat shields re-installed and manifolds back on the motor



DRM track oil cooler kit came in... uses a Setrab 625 cooler.... pretty large


Adapter block installed and lines run



Cut up the dash and removed all unneeded HVAC ducting. Its setup to blow air out the center vent and the defroster only. I pulled the HVAC unit and removed the evap core and heater core








Dash back in


Thats all... back to waiting on parts.
