1946 Coupe Build Progress I know I am a slow mover, but I was so excited I had to share it with my LS1tech.com family.
I think I need an f-body pan now...

Bowtie70SS,
I know you live in Goshen, I've known you for years. I'm the guy with the Green '72 chevelle that used to be in that chevelle club a few years ago
I hope to have it at Milford this year. My goal is to be 'done' by August this year for the street rod nationals.
As you can see, I have a ways to go. Dave (my bro) is going to give me a hand with the wiring here in the next few weeks and I am plumbing the fuel system.
Trying to source a vette balancer, f-body pan + the goodies that go with it, and will then buy the march performance pulley set.
You should swing by some time bro!

Oh small world Mark. Hey I have HP tuners but I am really no expert on it. The one good thing I can offer is that I am licensed for all 03 trucks and I do have a spare pcm so you could get it tuned for free if you want to mess around with it. I have the MPVI pro cable and I actually do have a wide band that you could use as well. Are you doing a automatic? Another one of my buddies may actually have some 46 parts, you have a business coupe? Any way sounds like we do need to get back in touch.

Yea Dave,
It's a business coupe, chopped 4"
Running an 06 engine and got the wiring and DBW stuff all together.
Running a 4l65e (supposedly, got it from a shady ebay store) we'll see how that goes...
We definitely need to reconnect, I'd like to see your rides. It's been too long.
I'll PM my phone and stuff.

I believe the trans tag on top of the transmission will verify if it's a 4L65e. The code on mine was 03KZD if memory serves. I think the KZD part means 4L65 since the transmission I bought from Stricker's was 04 KZD. As far as your computer it may very well interchange with a 03 or we could change the year? I believe the truck stuff is the same or we could figure it out.

Dave,
I plan to start the harness work this week. We will see what to do about the ecm as I get closer to that point.
I'll check for the code on the trans when I remove everything for paint. Hopefully I didn't get screwed.
Damn glad to run into you again.

A long time has passed since I made this post.
Thought I would share my updates.
I have sanded, primed, and sanded again the LS1 intake manifold.
Here it is during smoothing.
I have upholstered some old ford supercoupe seats in beige ultraleather
Found some fuel rail covers (soon to be smoothed out) and redid the harness from Truck to stand-alone car style.
And now, because I have no common sense, and couldn't get a set of headers I like to fit well, am smoothing the (now modified flange) truck manifolds that will be high-temp black/grey powdercoated.

Nice to see some somewhat locals on this section of the board. What's the shop name that tunes the LSx engines? I'm nowhere near as close as you are in you build, but I'm hoping to have my truck (41 GMC on a 2003 s-10 chassis, with a 1999 5.3l) driveable by winter, without starting the bodywork (wife's having our first kid in December, I want to be at a point where the truck can be driven, so that I don't lose motivation as easily)

Cincyspeed I believe does tunes, but I just got a mail order tune as I'm not looking for every ounce of power out of this setup. I also heard there was a shop in Columbus that does them called Custom LS1 tuning. I think Bill Wright is doing the work there. I have not had any experience with them, however.
