Got a lid for 900. That’s about as low as most are out there. While I wait to find a bottom blower, is it worth sending this off to reinforce the brick and make the ports bigger fittings?

Around 10 maybe, probably 2.55 pulley. Havent got to much in depth into that part. Been looking at your build plus others to get an idea.

Did you watch the series Lawrence Tolman did on youtube about building an lsa LS? He sent his brick off to somebody and was really happy with it. I will eventually buy a new brick and have it sent off. probably when i do the nitrous plate.

I have watched his video on the front drive assembly setup only. But I like his videos they are very good for a DIY. I plan on watching the others in time

If you're trying ro build one that series of videos is worth the watch. He cover a lot of info. Where to get parts and mods that I didn't know.

LT's solution for mounting a Tru Cool 40k and blower heat exchanger is awesome. He reworked the core support to fit both together so nicely, to look factory and fit behind the grille easily. His fab skills are great and it's nice that he shares his work. Definitely watch a few of his videos on that LSA build.

just watched it, that’s a pretty good idea to do. Since I run a manual transmission my front cooler is gone and also my AC is completely gone so the other cooler is not there. Should have enough room for any heat exchanger with them gone.
