More Progress/Rolling with Vortec

Got the suspension pretty much finished except for a few odds and ends, but just couldn't stand not setting in the Vortec for a test fit. Need to drill some holes for the crossmember,headers are snug but everything fits good. Now for some detailing on the motor.

Thanks guys, it's nice to finnally see some finished on this after 9 months of grinding and welding. I got the vortec complete with 4L60 and harness in a trade with a guy so that leaves my money for fuel tank and reworking harness.

So, you're running the FI then? Keep posting. I'll be curious how it works out for you. I opted to go the low brow and just swap on a carb.
