This is the Driveshaft Loop that I'm running. I had to drill a few extra mounting holes in the loop for clearance purposes.

I wasn't happy with the clearance between the top of the loop and the driveshaft. This is why I wanted to drill a few extra adjusting holes.

Being a different motor/transmission, The mounting is basically the same. The loop just might need to be mounted further up and back depending on how long the transmission is.

My loop is mounted around 2.5 inches further back than his.

No, my original post asked about that bar that seemed to be replacing your PPF. Then I relized you went LS1 and thus no PPF.
