What is the central section of your dash made from, and is it painted? I am assuming it screws on from the outside.

Looks like 7000 rpm will be plenty.....
Here's how the LS7 goes in a much heavier Corvette....
Corvette Z06 0-190 MPH - YouTube
That should be fun !
And the central section was a problem....I was trying to do something in fibreglass, then metal sheeting....and Scotty reckoned he could make it out of craft wood ...well some product that is similar anyway.
Some careful and skilful work with a hole saw ,and various tools,by Scott.... then finishing off by Des the painter.....and it came out looking like a bought one....
then left the suitable space in the dash padding, so that it fits "flush"with the leather.....a lot of rooting about,but with the black face gauges and chrome surrounds...and a black backing plate, behind the toggle switches , yet to be fitted...
I'm hoping it will look how I "dreamt it up", about 4 years ago.
These are the sort of things that do your head in, when after all that, they can sometimes look crap....but so far I'm happy with it.
Cheers, Warren
