I went back and looked and see what you are talking about, one more question, did you put anything under the bed to re-enforce the foot plates on the cage, or is it just bolted to the bed floor??

 

Right now it is just bolted to the floor.  The front feet land right on top of the front bed mounts and straddle the horizontal rib running underneath the bed.  I've got some ideas on boxing in the bed mount and tying the feet into the frame, just haven't had time to do it.

Kick @$$!  The pics have returned!  Thank you Comanche Club!  :banana:

 

I wish nothing but the worst for Photobucket.  :fistshake1:

 

I hope to have some updates on this project in the relatively near feature.

I miss this thread being updated. 

 

I doubt you'll get an update, which is ashame. I just read the whole thread. If you click on his profile he hasn't logged in to the forum in almost 2 years.

Let's see if I can prove you wrong.

This project sat around for a few years.  At this point I had picked up a Samurai and having a blast wheeling the crap out of it.  By 2019 our club planned a trip to the Rubicon and Fordyce Creek and I wanted to take the MJ.

 

In February 2019 it was time to rip out all the good stuff out of the crappy party Camaro.

I was able to get the Camaro transmission shifter to work.  I just had to rotate it up 90 degrees to clear the driveshaft.  Here you can see the bracket I built to move it up.

With some trimming for the transfer case shift levers I was also able to use the Camaro center console.  Unfortunately it still smells like Axe body spray even after multiple rounds of cleaning.

For the LS1 I pulled the pan off, changed the timing chain, oil pump, cleaned what I could, etc.

Put on one of those oil pick up brackets that actually uses both bolts to secure the oil pick up.

Engine side motor mounts.

Got this to run oil pressure and oil temperature sensors.

Only had to slide the engine in twice.  I set it as far back as the Novak mounts would allow, which required some sledge hammer persuasion in a couple of places.  The Novak mounts worked pretty well besides getting the carriage bolts to seat properly.
