i have a set of hooker headers too we had on the old 350, think they are squarish port, will they work? or what did you use?
Looks good boss!
Certified Performance (sponsor on here) pulled all the garbage out of my harness, emissions, ABS, etc.Quote:

The tranny dipstick tube will probably be crushed against your firewall, I added a flexible braided Lokar one.
My harness was from a B body so my ECM is front left of engine bay, next to the radiator (autozone '95 Z28 OEM.) if you swap from an F body you can go in the glovebox or right rear engine bay on the firewall. I kept the power steering an mounted the right inner wheel well.
Tranny crossmember from CPP made for a 4L60/700R4 swap into 68-74 Novas.
If those headers that you have are 1-3/4" primaries you should not have any trouble using them be sure to use the square gaskets that go with the header though. If they are the 1-5/8 I would sell them and get the larger set........Quote:

When you get an hour, or bookmark it, here is my build thread http://ltxtech.com/forums/showthread...LT1-4L60E-swap
After it is running, the build continues. There is a round two in the thread, and I think it is pretty detailed.
Also ran:
-99 Intrepid dual electric fans IIRC
-Multi rear leafs from JC Whitney
-Ford 8.8 inch with 3.73s
-QA1 Coilovers in front
-Front power disc brake conversion from Summit (mine was manual drum front
-Meziere EWP
-1.6 roller rockers
-LT headers to X-pipe to two mufflers and dumped at first, now all the way over the rear axle and out the corners
-Moved battery to the trunk with the rear disconnect switch
-Grant walnut steering wheel
-Autometer gauges, in my own panel
-Front buckets with frames and sliders from Summit for $450 at the time I believe
-Lokar shifter linkage from the factory column shift to the 4L60E
-Wideband sensor in driver header
-Yank Stall
-I had to roll my rear fenders to get 275 drag radials to fit, 17x9 in rear 16x8 in front
-Competition Engineering SFC
-Had a sump kit from Summit welded to the bottom of my factory tank, external 255 pump and Fram spin-on filter mounted in front of the rearend (pics in thread)
-Phenix Industries black braided line and fittings feed and return (Also from Certified Performance)
-Tubular front control arms, upper and lower
-External tranny cooler mounted in front of Radiator (pics in thread)
I'm sure there is stuff I missed, you will get it in the thread though.
your second post here is basically what we are doing. just the big basics are my concern right now. motor is gonna go to ellwein. 38- something stroker, possible procharger after he heard what popo's car sounded like. big electric fuel pump, lotsa braided stainless lines, externally stock looking car though minus the wheels and disc brakes all the way around (cpp big kit). tubular suspension subframes possible 6 point cage, bucket seats. trying to make it fast enough that the vinyl top peels itself off lol
I definitely ready for some project pics!
motor teardown some more
rod bearings shot, #3 and #7. headgasket was on its way out. thank god we are just reusing the block/heads/intake/computer stuff
