Default 69 Chevelle /w LQ4 4l65E

Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce my LQ4 Chevelle. It's nothing special on here, but thought I would post it up. The threads on here were a lot of help, a big thank you to all you hybrid guys. The engine has a hot cam in it and ls6 intake. The headers and mount plates are Edelbrock. Their headers come pretty close to the frame, I even put in 1/2" aluminum spacers on the motor mounts.
I put in a hydroboost from a 95 Astro van and am using a remote reservoir and type 2 gm ps pump. The electric fans are from a Ford Windstar. The radiator is a crossflow aluminum one from afco. One big mistake I made was I put on an LH8 pan, it hangs pretty low below the cross member. I am going to pull the motor to put in an autokraft pan and put in arp connecting rod bolts so I can get it ready for an eventual turbo ... probably will change the cam for the turbo, anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks guys, ive been really happy with it all except for that oil pan. Especially cause the car sits a little lower than stock....
never thought i would finish when it was sitting in my barn three years ago,

You will not regret the autokraft pan, really nice with lots of clearance as well being about even with the crossmember.
