Forgot to add that I am keeping the engine with EFI, so I sent the Harness to Furches Performance in Westfield, MA. Hes turning the harness into a stand alone unit, plug and play. Also keeping the DBW so I have acquired a DBW and TAC module. Brandon does some amazing work and Ill post more pictures when it is finished. Sent the PCM to Vengeance Racing to have them flash and tune it for the swap, getting rid of VATS and all that happy jazz.

You should paint the engine bay while youre there
|
Thats a big N O lol screw that I hardly have the time to put the car together let alone paint crap.

Well I got the 9" back in, what a heavy bastard.. then I found out the stock bolts dont fit my panhard bar :(
Also picked up LS1 injectors and rails from Nick Brehm, and a LS1 intake this weekend, non EGR, comes back to a 97-00 vette :) Making some progress! https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...71823564_n.jpg |
What's left on it?
|
Fuel system, trans, wiring, cleaning up a bunch of stuff. Putting the motor back together and all the accessories. Lots left to do, wish the weathers been better and work hasnt been killing me.
|
Looking good man! Any updates?
|
Yep. We need new pics in the new garage!
|
Well I had picked up a LS1 from a member here. Supposedly had rod knock. Finally got around to pulling the truck pan off it today and found this..

Sunk all my money into the LS swap and now have no engine. Back to the drawing board. |
Wait you say truck pan as in pan that had to be out on off his 5.3..... Impossible not to see the shrapnel and damage ?? If so that is dirty
|
Yeah i got the engine with a truck pan on it as he needed the fbody pan for his car.
|
I didn't know that part. Have you contacted him?
|
Nope didnt bring it up. Figured it is what it is.
|
Lifter failed and the chunk fell into the baffle. Got swept up again and jammed between the cam and the piston skirt. No way someone didnt find pieces in the pan.. got fucked on this one.
|
Dude...thats not cool. What are you gonna do now?
|
Ive got a 5.3 lsx engine to use still which was the original plan. Also have the 406 shortblock still. However I have something else in the works.

|
