Accessories and stuff

Mocked up the Cayman alternator on the LS3. It could work but the power steering would be a pain. I was considering using the Porsche Motorsport electric setup but it's very expensive. 


Swapped the valve covers to move the oil fill to the rear of the engine.






Nifty LS3 rocker setup. SBCs have come a long way!




Wound up getting the GM alternator and PS kit. All the parts including brackets and bolts were 1/3 the cost of just the PSM electric pump. I will need to do something with the PS res but otherwise this is plug and play.

Exhaust

Mufflers, flex joints and V-bands showed up this past week.




Borla XR1 mufflers. Probably going to add a pair of resonators too.





AEM Sensors

Outfitting the Cayman with an Arcflash Motorsport Dash. The dash is designed to use AEM sensors as well as many others.

Clutch

Quarter Master 7.25" dual disk clutch with LS3 Button Flywheel

I decided to go this approach so I could reuse the clutch (with $200 worth of new disks spline for GM) when I go with the Quaife Sequential box. The whole package is 1/2 the price of the KEP clutch. Strong and lighter too.




~2" thick spacer to get proper engagement with the factory transmission
