Nice. Where'd you place your oil tank, and how much lower were you able to place it compared to an ls1?

What are you using for a subframe, trans. xmember, torque arm, etc? I'm a couple hours north of you and will be doing something similar (LS1-based) next year when my LCamino gets done!
Looks great!
