Wow, your engine sounds like it's running great. That's a beautiful purr! I think we have the same engine. I also got the BP 427 LS engine for mine. Good to know I will need the C6 oil pan. I'll just go ahead and buy that now which will make the 3rd oil pan I bought for this... ha. What windage tray and pickup tube did you use for yours? Were you able to reuse from the pan supplied by FFR?

I'll be using an 8HP75 transmission with mine instead of the T56. I just picked that up last week. Hopefully I won't have any clearance issues with the bellhousing since it's rather large on the Ram version I have (it's from a 2024 Ram 1500 2wd).

I'm really enjoying seeing your progress and hopefully learning from some of the hard-earned experience you're sharing. Thanks!
