Nice work. I wish I’d run my computer under the seat like this.

That’s how i did it - turned out clean.

I ran all engine-side wires to the passengers rear of the intake, and drilled a 2.5” hole in the firewall to run everything through a large grommet just behind the passengers head, it’s nicely tucked and hidden but requires running each sensors wires basically individually, back to the ECM.

I was gonna go right through the firewall behind intake before i came across this bulkhead fitting. Its pretty large and takes a latge flat spot to secure. Thats when i decided to go under seat. Had my fingers crossed all the wiring was long enough

Hoping for some cooler weather for the weekend. Got lots of small parts back from powder. Driveline ordered

[oneshotkyle]

Got the hydroboost mounted up tonight

[oneshotkyle]

Dash all cleaned up and painted with holley 3.5 mounted. Textured and painted glove box to match.

[oneshotkyle]

Got the LS primed with a weed sprayer today. It displayed 12psi on the holley monitor. Haha. Started building hoses for hydroboost and decided to get the whole front clip painted up and reinstalled. Getting lots closer today was a good day. Hopefully ill be able to fire it by sunday for a short period. But i am waiting for driveline to get finished. Hopefully by friday.

[oneshotkyle]

Plucking along day after day. Today i went to oriellys and bought a batch of radiator hoses, 3 different times ha. And i found exact fits in gates. 23184 for the upper and gates 21668 for lower. I am running a factory style 68c10 radiator and the engine is gen iv family truck. I got tired of looking through mutiple post here and all over the net with mixedreviews and gobble degoo.

[oneshotkyle]

Then i topped the coolant off with dexcool and fired the truck up. All for about 2 seconds and it died. Lol. Then i realized it puked out the tailshaft cause i havent got deiveline done yet

[oneshotkyle]

Hoping the driveline gets done by the weekend. I have a buddy coming over to start welding exhaust up friday. And a remote tuner going to tune via laptop while it runs in my driveway

Educate me here....what has coolant got to do with what I'm assuming, is the transmission tail shaft?

Well it was two different sentences with a period separating them. Thought you might have figured out that im down to the end of the tunnel to make this thing run and drive. I topped off coolant. Got it to fire for 2 seconds and it puked out trans fluid due to not having the driveline in

[oneshotkyle]

Got driveline today and got it installed. Did some minor wiring and finished my AN06 trans cooler lines. Added some pipe off the collectors and fired it off. Got another gallon ATF in and some power steering fluid. Ready for some online tuning by friday

[oneshotkyle]

Super busy lately but got truck up and running well. Lots of little things to do change and adjust still but definitely a mover and a shaker. So the enjoyment iand payoff of time invested is coming.made it to coos bay for a little cruise over the weekend with a buddy who just pgot gis 71 running. Good times

Love it! Great photos as well - pretty awesome to get behind the wheel after a lot of hard work.

Awesome update! There's nothing like that first drive after the build phase.

[oneshotkyle]

So i decided it was time to get a steering column built. An OEM tilt shortened 2” is being built as we speak. I opted to have the builder shave off the top indicator and all. I will be going with holley 12.3 pro dash and plan on having a digital PRND321 indicator. Hear is a look at what reversion raceworks 3D prints up from scratch. The steering wheel does require lowering 2” but i figure a tilt and smaller 13 or 14” steering wheel should give plenty of room. Now i just need to get this dash painted and come up with the funds for pro dash

Appreciate the kind words. Lots more on the horizon but hopefully smaller things as i get to enjoy more

[oneshotkyle]

Got my a/c brackets in. A little early but i may put a turbo on this LS and wanted to know how everything would fit

[oneshotkyle]

Lots still happening. Turbo parts coming. Holley pro dash in route so i can finish the dash. Waiting on tilt column to be finished up and shipped. Cleatus steering wheel just arrived. Boost by spring

[dmack91]

I passed you driving it a couple weeks ago. Looks better in person. Nice work.
