Redoing my ws6 trans am.
first id i like to say im sorry for the cell pics.
well ive been collecting alot of parts for along time now. and since i am changing the car over to a 4l80e automatic, i decided it was time for all the parts to go on. i will update this thread when i take more pictures. i still have a ton more parts to put on that are not even pictured. enjoy.
the car started off like this
then the tear down had began. i forgot to take pictures when actually pulling the engine and trans out of the car.
the engine was sent to the machine shop to get all new bearings and the new heads milled and put on.
almost every nut and bolt for the engine and trans are made buy arp(alot more that where used are not pictured.

Sweat... so are you going to a manual brake setup completely? The Panoz has manual brakes... be prepared to push harder than you're used to. Once you get the hang of it it's no biggie.
What type of manifold is that? Looks like a normal LS6?
