Worked on it all day but it doesnt look like I did much haha.

Cab floor all stitched up and put some silicone on the welds just in case of pinholes or whatnot.



Started working on the core support











Did clean up the garage and put everything that I wont need from the old drivetrain or whatnot in the back shed so I can now park both vehicles in the garage again. Trucks over towards the center too much tho.

THe radiator setup looks real good. Is this a custom fabbed unit or part of someones swap kit?

Lost the cup holder? Swap almost isn't worth it now!

Very nice looking swap. Keep up the good work.

Ha Thanks guys! Its definately been a project. If I had deleted the vvt then things would have been much easier as in I would have been able to use a cheaper ecu from a c6 vette or gto that had a ls2/3, and I could have run full vette accessories, Just have to pick up all the hoses and the belt while I wait for the ecu to get flashed which last I heard from my tuner is that the ecu wouldnt flash I guess on his tabletop setup when trying to flash a '10 Colorado tune it would just show an hourglass on his screen so I dont know if he has figured that out or not. Hadnt given me any updates since wed.

Other then that its all together now!

Sick build! Clean truck. Keep up the good work.

Time for some sunfire seats now! Buddy has them in his S-10 and they're nice. Sit really low too.

Thanks, the plan is to pick up some black New body style GTO buckets.

Great Progress.

Can someone explain to me how those radiators with the cutouts for just the fans get enough air through them to cool at highway speeds?

Looks great!

Just going to wing it here but, the full shroud is spaced off the fins maybe 3/8" so it creates a funnel for the fans to pull air through the whole surface area of the radiator, at highway speeds I guess air is just forced through it all.

TiresmokinV8,
What cam did you end up using? TSP VVT2?

thanks,
Jim

Yep the TSP VVT-2

Jimbo1367

Good. I was concidering that stick **IF** I ever get my swap running. I will be looking forward to any input you have about it. I was also curious about the VVT with a 6 speed, and how well they work together.

I was scrolling down through the pictures and was looking at the driver's side header pic. It showed the brake likes very close to the tubes. Hopefully, you rerouted the away from the headers.
