Looks great. They are fun to drive, I know everyone is doing LS, but TPI is still a good torquey unit. More pics of yours.

Sorry been so long for reply; ECU under seat was pretty easy... I ran harness down frame rail, drilled hole under seat and pulled loom into cab, then mounted ECU on floor under seat. Motor has 700R4. I have K&N cable shifter on floor, getting ready to put in column shifter.

I will try to get more pics soon. I am doing power window regulator install this weekend to test my DIY project, I will get more pics then.

TPI is OK, but I think LS is in future. If it were a 383, I might consider leaving TPI in.
