Had my computer fixed today. Can see the photos now.
I am doing an ls motor in a 63 (frame is the same as 64-66) what motor mounts and header combo did you end up with? I read about clearance issues but do you have numbers for the final setup?
Anyone have any knowledge as to the wires I will need to feed this engine on a 4L80E?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-19-2012, 12:35 PM

Awesome build cant wait to see ya get back on it..

**Hart_Rod** · 11-19-2012, 04:01 PM

Been following your swap for a while and it looks great! Where did you pick up your motor and tranny? I want to go with an AOD, but figured whoever you got yours from probably offered that as well. Looking forward to seeing more of your build, take care,

Rob

**66ChevyMax** · 12-04-2012, 04:45 PM

Hello again, work along with many other things have taken me away from my build for some time now. Looks like I will be back on this thing after X-Mas.

Things are good, I'm self employed an thankfully very busy which is a blessing I know, just makes my projects suffer. Anyway here we go again,

Blew the shop out several times, still has dust everywhere. Texas is in the 2nd year of a severe drought and the sand storms have been horrible for 2 years.

This is a picture taken from a plane above Lubbock during one of our many sand storms. Needless to say the airport was closed.
