Re: Project "Leon "

Re: Project "Leon "
Spent more time on the main harness over the weekend... what a workout.
Dressed up my coil pack wiring friday night. I like the way they turned out. I mounted the coil packs last week to the tow board on the cab. Finally got some pictures of that. Over the last two nights I have worked on the exhaust. I really like the u-fit kit, but the way I'm going about it is very time consuming, but it's like a super puzzle, with angles! I like Puzzles! ![]() On the coil pack harness, they were covered in a fabric style tape that was IMO pretty ugly. In conjunction with the rest of the wiring, I wanted to wrap it in the flex braid split. I also shortened one of the leads to make it sit better with the new coil pack brackets. Before During After Also finished up the looming of the injector/TBA/MAF leads and the transmission wiring. I really like this split braid stuff!

Re: Project "Leon "
Here are some pictures of the exhaust. It's just tacked together. I don't know about the mufflers, they may end up being way too loud for my liking. They are Flowmaster Outlaw series.... we shall see. I need to add one more hanger for the PS and then onto the other side.
I'm concerned that the trailing arm is going to hit the exhaust. I'll see about that too. What do you guys think? I placed the v-band clamps just after the center trailing arm, this will allow me to remove the transmission w/o cutting the exhaust. I need to wash this thing...

Re: Project "Leon "
The pipe does appear to be fairly close to the trailing arm but keep in mind they are very long so they don't move a whole lot.
I would measure the distance from the frame to the ground and then add some weight to the back of the truck and remeasure and see how many inches it can move before it hits the exhaust pipe. |

Re: Project "Leon "
Hey man read the entire built and have to thank you for the motivation to tackle ls swap in my 70. At the moment I'm painting the engine and sending off ecm and wiring harness. Hopefully it will be half as nice as yours. We'll need to meet up once they both are running I'm local here of 635 and Northwest hwy. Any updates?

I'm super cheep so I decided to do my harness my self. Wasnt that bad, just takes a LOT of time. I like to solder and heat shrink. If you want to try to tackle it, I say you should shoot for it. If you need a heat gun, I have two. I found one brand new in the box on the way home from work one day. If it will encourage you more, I'll give it to you. I had brandon at LT1 swap do my programming. In and back in the same week! My dad lives just down the street from you. I grew up in that area! I don't have any updates because I have been at Disney for a conference all weekend and I'm on the plane home now. I have to be the one of the few rednecks that decided that fishing at a Disney Resort seemed more fun that hitting the parks... Thank you wal-mart for the fishing section. ![]()

Re: Project "Leon "
The fish? I threw it back after TSA wouldn't let me through the gate
![]() The rod and reel? I bought a super cheap one with the idea of ditching it. I kept the reel and I left the rod. Hopefully someone else can get use out of it!

Re: Project "Leon "
More hack and tack this weekend. I'm learning the hard way, the slower you go the better it looks. It's looking alright, just takes forever. I have had a couple of conversations here recently with my painter. They are slow in the shop at the moment, so I took him my fenders so he can start on the dent repair and whatnot. Here are some pictures form this weekend.
Saw this guy on the road yesterday. Hopefully a new board member!

Re: Project "Leon "
Took a little trip to the shippers distribution warehouse for a day early pick up.
New compared to old Front Shot Rear Shot Everyone loves some lip! The wheels are REV classics 100 series 20x10 and 18x8. From what I read these wheels are licensed by American Racing, or were at some point in time. I think the lip is a little different, but not sure. I bought them from a company I found off of ebay. Correct Performance out of california. $1390 shipped! ![]() ![]() ![]()
