First I want to think this website and all you guys that helped with this project. I couldn't have done it with out you. The info here is priceless.
It was so easy it's scary. The wiring was honestly the easiest part in a conversion like this. Enjoy

I have every thing wired per FAQ diagram. I noticed that there is one pink wire that is not used in the white connector. Does anyone know what this wires is for?

Hold the congrats. Victory was short lived. engine has zero oil pressure. I put a mechanical gage on it last night. The oil filter is dry, just hope the short time it ran didn't damage anything to much. Looks like it will be coming back out. Hopefully it is the famed S&P oil tube pick up and O ring issue. we had trouble putting the pan on it binded on the tube and had to be forced on. I'll be calling Mark today to see if they will ship me another tube and O ring. Unless you guys know some other tricks or other problems that may be causing this.

I hope the engine is ok. I'm pretty sure I would have had an oil problem too but I decided to do a head, cam, chain, and ported oil pump upgrade. While I was doing that, I noticed my S&P oil tube wasn't fitting up into the pump.

Good luck.

Does anyone know how much clearance there is from the bottom of the pick up tube to the bottom of the pan on a stock Ls1?
