Looks nice. For reference on the frame rail mounted battery…:you said you already have one but GM made a nice option too if yours doesn’t pan out - I love mine. GM 20970916

Getting battery mounted and leads made today. Also got headers in. Lil side boob shot

Originally i was just gonna run this LS with my th350 trans. But as time continued i decided to bite the bullet and ordered up a 4l80e. Buy once cry once kinda. Haha. Should be built by end of july and im gathering all the little crap to install. Wire harness, dipstick, stall converter, slip yoke etc…..

[oneshotkyle]

While im waiting for the 4l80e, i bough a FTI 3600 billet converter, holley pwm alt harness, holley trans harness and the correct flexplate. Tomorrow hopefully i will be pulling out this cherry inline 250 for a buyer.

Anyone recommend a oem style 4l80 dipstick and tube? Dont want the flex ones. Thanks for lookin

[oneshotkyle]

Buyer came through

[oneshotkyle]

Ordered a boyd tank today. Cant wait to hear some chop chop

[oneshotkyle]

Took off rront clip. Gonna get the ends of frame all cleaned up and get a pile of small parts for powdercoat.

[oneshotkyle]

Things are going slow waiting for me. Waiting for parts, specifically the trans. That way i can install engine and get to plumbing and wiring. I did manage to get my chevy volt radiator fans mounted today tho. Nothing special but progress. Havent got much done with the temps around here lately😞

Incredible work man….

[oneshotkyle]

Started plugging away at wiring harness from fuse block to headlights. I have removed the firewall plug and will be routing my wiring out side by vent and up under fender continuing in through core support for a cleaner look. Gotta weld up square hole still. Then got sidetracked when usps showed up with my hydroboost mounting plate. It fits nice and flush to firewall just need to mod the rod with a clevis or heim to get perfect.

[oneshotkyle]

And i got gauge panel cleaned up and repainted with holley 3.5” dash mounted for now. Until i can afford the reversion raceworks or fesler dash with 12.3 holley prodash

[oneshotkyle]

3 turn gearbox in and everything lined up perfect. Even the steering wheel. Yahoo

[oneshotkyle]

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

[oneshotkyle]

Todays feat

[oneshotkyle]

Getting some wiring and plumbing figures out today

[oneshotkyle]

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