Hey Jamal been busy folks, but yeah I cut like 1 1/2 - 2 inches up and around the Harmonic Balancer/Crank bolt head which still rubs in some turns but in doing the install my T-bone motor mounts needed replacing so its pretty good now.

I believe that they all have a similar Motor Mount layout but I'm not sure on the tranny?

Got everything functioning finally!!! But haven't had to much time to finish hard off. Was supposed to be done today and head to Turlock for bass show and was going to hit you up dredd but need small stuff done still......transmission will not hold up for any other LS motor they are to weak as it is.

My abs computer actually came out of a 2007 Impala SS and what I did was cut the ends of my brake lines and re-flared them to fit the new abs computer. It should go well, just get the brake line flaring tool and you should be fine. I also had to get the 07 brake booster because it has a air pressure sensor that needed to be there for smog! let me know how it goes!

Must be an ls4. The ls4 is the only ls with a bolt pattern for the fwd transmission. It also helps that the accessories are more condensed than the dual belt setups that a lot of ls engines run.
