Default Good news/bad news 2004 GTO LS1/6speed

Good news... engine is running... spent less than 10 hours labeling the harness and just sorting wires enough to find what I needed to get it running.

Bad news... it's not in the vehicle HAHA.

This is the fourth engine swap I've done and decided to get it running and sorted on a stand this time so I'm not spending hours hanging over and crawling under a car and under a cramped dash like the last few times. Idea being to get it as sorted as possible on the stand and spend minimal time sorting in the car.

So far so good.

Next steps are to get all the gauges, vdo, working... strip the harness down to only what's needed physically... then time for install.

I would be careful running that with the slip yoke on the trans, you can see it walking off in the video.That would hurt.
