Rainbow unicorn might live again?
First start before bls?
Possibly, depends on weather and how busy work is when I go back.
Your buddy cardo on ls1 tech!
You sticking with your 7675 precision?
Yea, can't afford to really change to a large unit.
An old PT88 would work but thats a lot of work downpipe wise and of course the initial cost of a 88
He will likely get this started before mine seeing as mine is still sitting on an engine stand.
And assaulting you lololololol had to!Quote:

The smallest downpipe ever for maximal back pressure

Baby steps
Looking good. Jealous of your progress. I better get an invite for first start.
Well, after working all day on the BLS mobile (which came damn close to starting today) I got home and said F it, lets tinker on my POS.
Some random seat that I got

Got my dampener on, accersories on, and belt on.

Gotta tackle the interior next I think, got a few electrical things I gotta do.
Looking good. That seat will make a big difference. Thanks for all the help today.
Glad to see your progress, really want to see you make it to the Shootout out this year. I just dropped of mine at the body shop so I spent the day working on my tow rig project today.
No problem, always fun wrenching on your stuff, makes me appreciate the simplicity of my heep :lol:Quote:

I wanted to steal it, but was more afraid of the wife rage than BLS mad :lol:Quote:

Hope we get dumped on tmmr night, and if I am off Tuesday I will tear out the harness and go to town.

And, in my last rockauto purchase, got a speed sensor to replace my current VSS..

Maybe now my speedo will actually read 140mph at top end. :lol:
So, warm weather, and what started as just organizing the garage...

Engine is not all the way in, just supported by the strut towers and the dollies under the motor. Next step is to finish the harness mods and lay that over the motor (hence the not 100% in)
Progress.
Looks like a race car with the single plane and 24x... Elton John paint that engine bay?
...wut?
Opti spark is for men. Vortec ddistributor is for 1997 suburbans. WOMAN
We shall see.
If your distributor dies I will bring mine out of my 99 hoe.
Looks good dude. Need to finish it and crank it over
Thanks man, its getting there, gonna be a lot of misc work fixing loose ends. But steam is building, gonna be moving along quick now
Way to half ass the hold down and not bother with safety wire or a tac weld. :)
Looking good man!!! You are going to hurt a lot of feelings with this thing.
More work done tonight...

Almost done with mechanical stuff, avoiding the harness if you couldn't tell :lol:
Looks like some good progress man!
Got a few more mechanical odds and ends left, then, start with the electrical stuff.
Shooting for early April for start up.
can i just ask....
WHY?!?!?!?
Because unicorn.
Have you ever used the old fiberglass header wrap? I'm considering going with that lava rock stuff this time around but I already have 50 feet of the other stuff. Curious how ya like it.
Nice dude. I wish I would of gotten that 2 inch header wrap when I did mine. The 1 inch took forever . What's all left besides the harness?
What's the chocolates name
Nope, but this lava stuff is amazing. Wrapping the pipes is easy and best part, no itch what so ever. I did all of that with no gloves, long sleeves etc. Highly recommend it. Seems to not discolor either.Quote:
