The Jag engine is so much bigger than the LS. Transmission is smaller than the 6L80E.

A quick powerwash removed 23 years of Texas dust and such. Will go over it again with Simple Green to finish up. Lots of room for the LS3/6L80E in here.

Lokar flexible dipstick in place with a longer bolt and spacer to also hold manifold heat shield in place properly.

Looks lovely in the Jaguar engine bay. So much room compared to how big the OEM Jaguar engine is.

Passenger side downpipe much more straightforward, but it's a close fit between starter and subframe.

Driver side downpipe is an interesting shape. Comes out of the manifold, turns towards the engine to go over steering shaft and then down.

View looking to the rear. 2.5" tubing throughout. No, I didn't go with an x-pipe.

With it in, and running, it was time to do a little badge engineering.

LH pair of Camaro cats fit as-is, no need to separate. Just added a new downstream O2 sensor bung as the primary one is now in the manifold, ahead of the first cat.

View of engine compartment with all connected. Passenger binnacle is open because I still need to wire in AC signal box and wideband O2 so that we can complete the tuning. Once AC module is in, it goes to AC shop to get the lines I need made.

On the Camaro pedal the cover has to be removed because the drift pins holding the spring cover in place are blocked on one side by the potentiometer assembly. Cover is held on with snap clips all the way around it, then lifts right off.

The potentiometer sweep arm can be (gently!) pried off. Make close note of its positioning, the arm has ridges to line it up.

This is the cover under which the springs are located.

Two small, metal drift pins hold it in place. (Yes, that's a shattered rear stop light housing in the background. Am going to try and get a replacement one 3D printed)

Use a punch of appropriate size and tap them out. Keep your thumb or something over the cover as you remove the final pin. It didn't launch itself as the final one cleared, but I didn't feel like looking for little drift pins if it did.

The springs sit within ringed recesses in the cover and base. I took out the outer (larger diameter) spring and left the inner one. Reassembly is just reversing things from here. Was about 10 minutes or so if I'd not taken photos.

Plenty of space for flex here. I suspected as much, but - seeing is believing. The top arrow (pointing down) is towards the rear of the car. It is at this weld, and the machined neck, where the distortion was.

This is the front adaptor to the driveshaft, looking towards the front of the car. Lowering crossmember looks to be the easiest approach to getting at the nuts that hold the countersunk bolts on.
