you guys are great... see this is what i get for giving John such a hard time in his thread.

and as for the uggs... i just learned about those over the last few weeks.

i ordered them yesterday for express delivery so i can order my mounts and headers monday!!

then hopefully we'll see some progress. cant wait to see the motor and trans sitting in the chassis.

JohnC · 01-16-2010, 09:00 AM

I know you have been giving me grief about actual updates, and pics. Well......

glock35ipsc · 01-16-2010, 12:18 PM

Um yeah......... the welder.....

Driveway Dreams · 01-17-2010, 12:20 AM

Get out a camera and take some pictures!

menace121978 · 01-17-2010, 09:38 AM

soon as the mounts and headers get here i'll snap a ton of pics for ya buddy.

there's really nothing to take pics of that i havent already. could take a few of the "treats" our new puppy has been leaving on the carpet in the garage. Amy just loves thinking of me out there working on the truck and rolling around in it!

every time i see her snickering out in the garage i know what she's thinking. reminds me i have to get some new carpet out there this spring.

Cant wait to see it sitting in the chassis.

One step at a time.

Bob are you going around posting that in everyone's threads?

I think he's a little excited.

glock35ipsc · 01-20-2010, 10:31 AM

That was the plan last night, until I got distracted by a sick cat.

Yeah, just a little excited!!

STOCKISH · 01-20-2010, 10:32 AM

He didnt post it in my thread? pouting I guess he doesnt care if I have A/C or not.

Those look like they'll be the ticket for sure.

menace121978 · 01-20-2010, 10:50 AM

holy moly! thats great news! so i can just get the plates and not have to notch the frame?? and i dont need those expensive mounts from brp!!!

STOCKISH · 01-20-2010, 10:55 AM

I dont feel so bad about just using the mount adapter plates now. Not having to notch the frame will be awesome.

menace121978 · 01-20-2010, 08:12 PM

well, i ordered my adaptor plates today!! finally! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LS1-C...item414be1ab50 just have to do the "FRED" mod to them so the a/c compressor clears and hope a "best board buddy" can find the template or origional piece for the engine stand mod!

what kinda motor mounts should i go with? isnt there some that dont have the hump in them?

STOCKISH · 01-20-2010, 10:31 PM

just have to do the "FRED" mod to them so the a/c compressor clears and hope a "best board buddy" can find the template or origional piece for the engine stand mod!

Thats what I'm screamin.

glock35ipsc · 01-20-2010, 10:58 PM

Y'all got lucky! I can't find the paper template, but I did find the one extra metal one I cut!

I'll get it cleaned up and make another paper template and get a handful of them made up. Damn, how many swaps do we have going on the are gonna use the factory AC pump?

I'm heading downstairs to lift, so I'll add them up later.

STOCKISH · 01-21-2010, 12:13 AM

Using the factory compressor here. Will gladly PayPal you the cash to send me a metal one if you have time.

glock35ipsc · 01-21-2010, 12:16 AM

Don't worry, I'll make plenty! I just need some addresses PM'd to me.

menace121978 · 01-21-2010, 12:22 AM

STOCKISH · 01-21-2010, 09:34 AM
