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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

All buttoned up and with a proper 3-bolt cam gear instead of the DoD single bolt mechanism. Batwing tensioner replaces the old DoD setup with its plastic guides.

It is said that if one looks at cam bearings in LS engines, they will almost always be bad. Well, we looked and these are near perfect.
