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

Re: Patina love
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

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. |

Re: Patina love
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.

Re: Patina love
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.

Re: Patina love
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

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