the oil pan looks good as hell, can you make me one too? the head covers direct bolt on and will accomodate all the coils and factory clips, connectors, etc?

PIX Updated...again!!
More pix up to date. Pan was altered for clearance, header clearance good, MP122 & Motor installed. E-Fans hooked up.
Problems: Speed kit was sent with the 2wd cross-member instead of 4wd, so had to do some alterations for the actuator module to fit. they also didn't send the new dip stick, AND the rear drive shaft is now too long. When I ordered the kit I enquired about exactly that and was told all wud fit with the new shaft and fittings they provided ...oh well, shud be fixed by now!
Thinking of wrapping the headers while we're at it - anything to keep underhood temps down!
Left to do: locate remote oil filter and cooler with -10AN spec, and remote coil packs - SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!

Awesome work!
Fluidyne and Earls makes some real nice oil coolers for -10 fitment. What I haven't determined yet is what size is necessary. My requirements may be a little different than yours because I will have a turbo heating up my oil... and I live in Arizona. Right now I'm thinking the biggest cooler... but DAYUMN are they expensive.
I have seen the coils relocated to the engine block (believe I saw it on LS1Tech)... feeding the wires straight up to the plugs but not sure if custom wires were used. I like the covers you have. I also like Abear's... which would not require coil pack relocation.
FWIW, I recommend coating the headers before wrapping them.
