wow, you did a really good job, doesn't even look like the same engine. I like how you kept it very clean.

Nice work!

Wow, I got Steve's seal of approval, I am complete now.

Steve your old car has always been a point of inspiration for me since the first day I saw it many years ago. All joking aside, thanks for the compliments, it truely means a lot to me coming from you.



Now let me see if I can answer everyone's questions.

stangkiller2005 - yes you can customize them and that would be a sweet custom label for these valve covers.

00firebird - see my previous post about why I went with the change. (post #20 on the first page)

STRETCH'S T/A - which wires are you referring to? The pcm wires over the passenger side strut tower? The ground wires? Or all the wires? There is a write-up on the pcm wires over the passenger strut tower in the "Hall of Fame" sticky in this forum. Just click on the "Wire mod" link. I also came up with a small write up on moving all the visible ground wires, though its pretty old I will see if I can dig it up.

Nitrous fed ss - yes I converted to the LS6 PCV and just got rid of the PCV system all together.

Whew, I think that was everything.

Thanks again for the compliments guys, makes all the work worth while.

Brian

Here is the write up that I did back in the day for re-locating the visible ground wires :

this is where I relocated my wires to. Some may say "Well they aren't that hidden," but they are good enough for me.

PASSENGER STRUT TOWER GROUND WIRE

It is a little hard to make out (****ty pic and I didn't feel like removing the battery just for this pic) but you get the idea, there is a bolt already down there you can use to bolt down the ground wire down there. Which you can see in the pic :




DRIVER SIDE STRUT TOWER GROUND WIRE

All I did was use a dremel to grind out the teeth a little so that the connector would fit over that bolt. (it won't fit otherwise)




GROUND WIRE LOCATED TO LEFT OF LID

You a going to have to remove the battery to get it to this location. Have fun, its a bitch getting the wire through that little hole.




GROUND WIRE LOCATED TO THE RIGHT OF LID

Same place just on the other side.
