yes, I used würth sealant that my friend "borrowed" from his work at mercedes dealership, its not leaking between sump and block at all, just a tiny pinhole in weld between the an fitting, and the pipe.

Sorry about the pan. Weird. I've personally had two pans, and neither ever leaked.
As far as the videos go.... I put one up on my site ( http://www.tonygarcia.org/944V8 ) . The problem with youtube is that you have to cut the video into pieces and that's a pain.
I have another from that same weekend that's ready. I need to chop both into 10 minute segments and put them up on youtube.
Guess I'm lazy...

killer stuff Robert, as usual....
$1800 shipped to any US-48..... Just PM
Everything needed for a basic swap minus the oil-pan (I suggest getting TPC's) as This kit uses TPC's AC-compatible POWDER-COATED uprights and allows maximum steering rack clearance. The X-member is precision line-bored at the control arms for exact 3/4" drop, relieved at the rack mounts (for max oil-pan clearance) and slotted at the Upright mounts for aft movement. It was then acid washed, primered, and painted . Again, I guarantee your hood will close (with no cutting) even with the taller power steering rack. 3/4" billet X-member spacers and 3/4" longer X-member zinc-plated bolts and washers. 3/4" Sway bar spacers. 3/4" bump-steer tie-rod drop blocks (You will need to get a set of MANUAL rack outer tie-rods...Rock Auto $25/ea). Bolt-on Modded 13/16" Wilwood MC and custom adjustable pushrod adapter (Includes Wilwood accessories). 30" -4an stainless braided line and Wilwood NPT adapter. Brand New Anodized and Pre-Modded C5 throwout bearing with -4an lines included to fit the C5 Bellhousing adapter with TT mounting hardware all included. Your chioice of an LS or LT/SBC pilot bearing adapter and new pilot bearing. I redesigned the 1/4" thick 2000 series alloy brake MC adapter for factory 944 MC and a longer custom adjustable pushrod adapter. It has a seperate billet plate that removes so the larger firewall plate can be re-used for Hydroboost or Dual MC mount later. Kit comes with New construction 4140 custom steering shaft with brand new Borgeson U-joints made for the 3/4" X-member drop. It is adjustable due to the Double D ends. Comes lengthened exactly 1/2" but can be extended or shortened by end-user.....Also included is my new universal billet-polyurethane transmission mount (85.5-up only) that set the drivetrain at factory position or 1/2" back for the V8 swap with swappable set-screws..... And to sweeten the pot, I'm adding in one of my Short Shifters, all Chromoly design with Teflon Heim....

Stay away from RH kits. Having worked on A LS6 conversion recently with a RH kit, I can tell you that the majority of the kit is cheaply made junk parts. Might be good for a weekend hotrod, but a for a serious professional installation, thier kit will not be satisfactory. Soon everyone will see the correct way to install an LS conversion.

I have to disagree with you guys I have had RH kit installed in my race car for 2 years. The 1st year with the swap I won many races in my class & finished 2nd in my regional championship.
In 2011 I again won many races, won the regional championship & finished in the top 10 at NASA Nationals @ Mid Ohio. BTW i didn't have any DNF's all season! So i would say the RH kit is reliable & works well in a race environment.
RH has stood behind there products & has been great at customer service. I did not have time to re invent the wheel I bought what was available & moved on I do not regret the decision to use RH kit.
