Got hydroboost done

[oneshotkyle]

Converter shows tomorrow and i just got the call that trans is done. Need this weekend to get some holes in the firewall welded up and may get eng/trans in next week����

[oneshotkyle]

Yahoo. Now gotta weld a few firewall holes up

[oneshotkyle]

Todays checklist.
Get firewall holes plugged and firewall rattle canned black for now.
Assemble engine and transmission, tighten converter
So far so good

[oneshotkyle]

Mmmmmmm

[oneshotkyle]

Got all the firewall welded up and the engine in. Pass header needs some more clearance on the ear of transmission and power steering return need some more frame clearance. Other than that all is good

Getting some wiring and plumbing figures out today

[oneshotkyle]

Decided to put computer under seat. Just one more way to hid wires

[WorldsCrappiestTruck]

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.

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]

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

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

[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

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