When I hooked the radiator and stuff up I ran the hose that comes from the bak of the head I ran that straight to the left side of te radiator. Put two caps over the spots in the throttle body for the coolan lines. And just ran the one out of the waterpump on the right side to the oil cooler. Then out that right into the right side of the radiator. Is this gonna be okay? That's basically how it runs bypassing the throttle body anyways right?

Works slowed pretty bad on the t/a. It's been so damn cold the last few days I haven't even wanted to go into the garage! The exhaust is giving me a bit of a hard time as well. Everything was welded solid so I cut it right I front of the cat. Now with everything back into the car I couldn't get the pipe to fit back in so I ended up having to make the midpipe into 2pieces so I can get it over the axle in the rear. So I've been fabbing up the exhaust. I think I may have to eliminate the cat. The way they have everything welded and there is Nowhere other than the manifold and te muffler that I can disconnect the exhaust. I really wanna get a set of longtubes and a new catback but I just don't have the funds for that at the moment so this is just temporary for now till I get some cash for some Shiney parts!!
Also I still need to bleed the brakes, hookup the power steering line that was broken on both cars while pulling engines. Bleed the power steering. Refill the rad. And I hit the trans pan drain plug when I took the formula for its jump so it's bent slightly and is leaking a little. So I'm going to take it off and see if I can fix the leak or if a new pan is nessisary. I have a whole ton of pics I just need to get the adapter so I can put them onto the computer to load them. But all and all things are coming along very nicely. I got the wiring figured out. It fires right up first crank 95% of the time. The other 5 it takes the second turn of the key. So she's running good sounds really good almost ready for a little shakedown run. (Goal is to do it by wed or thurs)!

Attachment 25907I put the clear front corners in and took the front plate frame off, looks way better up front!
Looking good! Like the clear corners as well, got a set to install on my Z as well. Garage is Cold??? Lol tis the season. First thing I did when I moved into my house back in January is I had a wall mounted gas heater with t-stat installed, spendy but worth every penny. Watching for more updates!
looks good.
LTXtech.com is my drug.
The sad part about the garage is it's in our basement! But when it's been 18 for a high over the last few days I haven't even bothered. I got a little kerosene heater from an older lady I helped out. I love it. But it's just to cold to even really help!
Anyways, i was bleeding brakes and getting a couple of the small things out of the way. Had them all pumped up and pedal nice and firm. POP the line right on the left rear tire pops. Sonbitch. Not a big deal really but of course I didn't have a line short enough to use. So I had to leave it off overnight so I'm gonna have to redo the back. I have a little one man bleeder I got from autozone I love it. Makes it so much easier than having someone pump the brakes. I can do it get the fluid flowing and just let it gravity bleed.
Also having an issue with the exhaust. Since they have the exhaust completely welded around the cat both front and backside, I had to cut the midpipe down. I'm thinking of just buying some longtubes and Y pipe. And getting a good catback. I'm looking at one from eBay anyone used this or heard it before?
This headers and y

And this catback I like the way the vette sounds with a similar setup (ls motor) but the lt sounds way better anyways!!so I think basically a glass pack and headers oughta sound really mean. I just don't want it to be to loud. I think my flowmaster that's on it now is just about the limit

Those look identical to my pacesetters, and that is the cat back I wanted to buy if I had $200 laying around
Attachment 25947There kinda hard to see I'll get a better pic. I have a nice set of dual 3" tips for that catback too so I think it will sound mean as hell! Especially with longtubes! I need a visible car tho here in pa
Does that exhaust make your car invisible in pa? Lol I don't understand?
I think he may be referring to a visible exhaust for inspection. Visible as in exiting the car at some point.lolQuote:
