Ok, been awhile since i updated last.

No new pics right now but hope to get a few tomorrow.

Fuel system is in from tank/pumps/lines to injectors/rails and wiring harness, got a new trans pan in and modded my bracket for the shift cable to work, leak tested my manifolds and made sure they are solid, ground out any rough spots on the welds inside the manifolds and outside, and heat wrapped the downpipes. Y pipe has been done/welded up and ready to go.

Rocker arms are installed, and starter is in. I’m ready to bolt on the manifolds and put the turbo system together.

I’m going to rewire the ECM and wire in my LS1 throttlebody connections tomorrow I believe. Possible after the turbo hotside install or before.

By end of tomorrow I HOPE to only need to get driveshaft, map sensor, memcal for ecm, and hook up miscellanous vacuum/hose connections and its ready to start. Still need alternator accessory bracket to hook up everything else. I got an electric waterpump and my stage II stewart mechanical, not sure which one I’ll use. Do some valve cover catch can/breather setups and hook up the boost gauge/trans temp gauge yet…all small minor things.

ITS SO CLOSE

Awaiting accessory brackets from March to HOPEFULLY work with my alternator and power steering pump, then once thats on, I can fill with fluids and fire it up!!! Still gotta connect the exhaust which will need modified abit to fit the downpipes since I moved them to fit the turbo flange but that shouldnt be too hard to do.

Alittle teaser pics
