Tony - you know I'm a purist, but you're doing your best to convert me! 
I love this car. That rear shot of it sitting on the trailer in the sun - the color just glows. With all that power and a 6-speed, it's going to be a blast to drive. I sure hope you can bring it to 3rd Coast.
See you soon,
Jarrod

He certainly does. Oil filter mounted. Just recieved some Thermo-Tec high heat sleeves to wrap the oil lines, low side A/C line, etc. T

Getting closer my friend,
I was wondering if you will be using lexan instead of the heavy hatch glass.
You can buy it dark tinted (what i will be doing) and it's cheap.
I have a 4'x8' sheet in my garage and it's nowhere near as heavy as the much smaller hatch glass. -Matt

Stan, That's the stock size filter that comes with the LS motors. Also calls for Mobil 1 5-30. Have been skipping around on the LS forums lately and they say these LS motors run cool. Pretty hot here in TX and will keep an eye on engine (& trans) temps and if needed, add in a stacked plate, fan assisted cooler. T

Plan from the start was to set up JP up as a spunky, comfortable, GT type touring car. There will be some a weight savings of approx 150lbs coming from the LS motor, and the 6spd trans/diff will add back in approx 50 lbs. JP should come in at approx 3075 lbs, still a fairly light GT tourer. Next buy or build might be a dedicated track car and will be looking for that Lexan ! T

If I've read your thread correctly, you will have a better power to weight ratio than a new 911 GT3 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...51773540,d.eWU

I think I would put a bigger filter on if it would fit
