Nice! I like the tires!

Will the OEM 6.0L exhaust manifolds work with the 45 frame or will you need to use something different?

The d/side won't work. The p/side may, if it was routed over the trans and tied in, or if you had a d/s drop t/c.

I'm looking for a set of F body manifolds to see if they will fit.
The only mfgr I can find block hugger headers for the LS1 based engine is street & performance, Bling Bling. Any suggestions?

What is a TH475? Gears?

Thanks for the link

They definitely have what I need if the F body stuff doesn't work. Less $ too

Identical to the TH400, with the exception of the planetary gears being straight cut a 2.7? 1st gear and HD sprag. At least this is what i've heard from reliable sources.

wngrog · 04-15-2003, 11:42 AM

Cool!

Medusa · 04-15-2003, 12:57 PM

The Sanderson headers are very high quality and I think they look pretty cool. Be careful with the block hugger headers that are very close to the block. I don't know about the 6.0 but on the older 5.7 Vortecs, many of the block huggers hit the anti-knock sensor on the P side. I am planning on a 6.0 L in my soft-core FJ45 and will be watching your buildup with great interest. Looks good so far.

Damn, that is going to be one mean 45. Did you get your motor and transmission from a wrecked truck or something like that? How much for the two? Just curious thanks.
