The rear end is done!

Front diff mount bracket






Adapter piece to go from 3 bolt flange to 4 bolt


New beefy driveshaft, good for 500 hp




New axles...thicker and heavier than stock. Good for 400 hp


Gotta do something with that fuel line...its not touching the driveshaft but its too close.




I drove the car last night for the first time since November. I'll get video later!

Rear mount. Plenty of room where the muffler sits

I'm running a E11v2. You can run a LS1 no problem with a P2000S. You'll have to set it up to run sequential injection and waste spark ignition. Just pair the cylinders for waste spark (one on compression, other on exhaust stroke) and use the 4 ignition outputs. Make sure to use the earlier 24 tooth wheel, not the newer 50-something tooth wheel on your crank.
