I buy these rolled transitions from columbia river. They come in a bunch of different lengths and are reasonably priced.
Man this car defeated me last night. Had to take apart a bunch of stuff. I must have not had something tightened during final fitup because now I dont have room to get a lower rad hose on. Many swear words were yelled. Drank some beer. I am going to try to fix it today.
2 steps forward. 18 steps back.
Been there. shitty…
Yup. I’ve had the same luck with my bike and car lately. Spend hours putting stuff on just to take it all back apart.
keep yelling at it. more beer.
I usually cut straight to the Sailor Jerry at that point. It’ll kill the pain faster.
It is demoralizing! I was so excited to see it looking like a car again. Nw its is back to many parts on a floor. While annoyed I am going back out there tonight to yell at it and drink more beer.
Yes
I can get a hangover just thinking about Sailor Jerry
All these damn turbo cars! This car is going to be NASTY!
Keep at it drew. Love this build
Major progress was made tonight. Thanks Luke(Bob), Luke(Bill), and Shawn(Luke) for the help!
Brakes just need to be bled
Wiring looks amazing and is mostly done
:tup:
I’m sofa king tired and sore…but SUPER stoked.
Looks amazing Drew! Nice job!
did you guys get that coolant hose off the t-stat housing figured out? I can look around for that flex hose if need be, it works great for tight spots.
Saweeet
Well first the housing was hitting crossover.
Cut it up, extended it, welded it, painted it. Yay
Going to install it…cross threaded into the water pump.
Chased the threads and somehow I didnt muff them beyond repair. Yay
Went to install lower hose. Cut it too short. No longer fits.
So to answer yes I still need a lower hose but they are two different sizes. Needs to go from 1.5" to 1.75" I believe. If you have something that works I would sleep better tonight.

Thanks!
A lot of prep went into getting the LS harness ready for the car…I had to re-wire a few areas, lengthen both O2 Sensors, un-pack and reroute all the OBDII harnessing, and relocate the fuse block.
Once I had the harness on the car I was able to mock it in pretty easily and add in the wideband harness.
Constructing the harness:
Test fitments:
Final Install:
The Nova Harness was stripped of all it’s SBC content, still needs a lot of love, but should go in without much trouble.
This is seriously awesome. Makes me re-think the projects I have decided to go with.
I really like the look through the front grill.
