Got tranny bolted up and threw in the Motor. Needed to check clearence of sump and muffler. Looks like sump is clear but muffler has a clearence issue. But may be able to fix the situation.

That is as low as it goes. The 17's are keeping it up. If I was running 15's I would be Negative height. Lol.
Put the body back on for air sys check and sensor placement. Also wanted to see if this bus muffler would work on the car. And looks like a winner to me ! Think I will run it.

Thx Kyle
I have a sump on the motor and its sitting on the ground now. I want it nice and low without destroying it. If the deep sump ends up being to low may go with a thin one.

Borrowed a front Fender from Tim to check clearance of height sensor movement to headlight bucket. so far so Good.
also got my rendering of my car done, thanks to KP Concepts for a awesome job. Hoping the rendering to Reality looks the same, i know its not going to be that low but would be Sweet!
