Cut my trap door for my fuel pump this weekend!


Also picked up some tai lights for $35 that cleaned up nice! Probably gonna tint them with film so I can remove it later.





Then dented my quarter panel prying up to get the gas tank out lol and the half *** welds to fix my borla catback broke.

Lol I actually took an opti and put it on the back of my motor to mess with some people on my local group page Nd boy did I have them believing me lol!

It's a great swap to do just a pain piecing everything, try and find a wrecked Ls car to make your life 1,000 times easier!

Well guys was hoping to have the long block fully together this weekend but came to find out that when I got my springs from a buddy and borrowed his 241's that he scrapped a junk 241 that had the smaller seals and spring seats for the dual springs to fit correctly.

Thankfully got ahold of vengeance and got the spring seats on order so shooting to have the engine in car and fired this weekend.

In the mean time I'm working on getting everything wired up and bolted up got the pedals in now just looking for some connectors I'm missing somewhere in the car lol like the break light switch connector and clutch switch.

that is the plan only thing that would speed that up is the ol lt1 blowing up. Great job on the progress though!

Just to give you guys a general idea of where I'm at she's pretty much in just have to get a stripped k member bolt out and fix the pass. Side shock.



Been dealing with some electrical and wiring harness gremlins. At this point I'm probably gonna pull the harness out and remove all the unwanted lt1 stuff I left in. But it's progress none the less!

No love for my first start up :/?

Picked up some stuff from a junkyard. Wound up getting a brake line I needed lol and turn signal.

As well as this third gen proportional valve for my abs delete. Don't freak out since it's not adjustable ice had someone do it and tell me it stops fine. If I don't like it I'll buy the willewood one.

Well got the PCM tuned and got the harness cleaned up and good to go.

Fired it up and man did it sound good best the whole block lol!

Unfortunately once again I have oil gushing out, we believe it's either the rear main seal or the rear cover gasket.

Trans was coming out either way for a monster stage 3 lol so I guess it's ok.
