Well been working on it a good bit lately car was running pig rich due to a bD coolant temp sensor so got that replaced.
Car also was started to start and then suddenly die on me and kept throwing a cam sensor high voltage code tested the connector for ground and power and changed the sensor with no luck. Started to read up on how it could be the cam bolts backing out. So I tired the car down and locktited the bolts. Started to put the pulley on when I noticed I couldn't get the bolt to thread in -_-. Long story short I stripped the crank threads and thought I was about to have to pull the motor ad start over. Thank god for this little guy what a life save lol tapped it and it worked good as new!

Need bellhousing,front plate,input shaft and slave set up along wit an Ls master cyl.
The cheapest place to get an input shaft is hawks.
Well I've been fighting massive no start issues from what lead me to believe it was a cam sensor so wound up changing all sorts of things to figure it out and was gonna give up hope on finding out what it was when I decided to change my plugs since 2 buddies have me the idea that they may be no good. Well I'll be damned if I didn't put some fresh tr55's in she fired right up! Still running into some little issues with wiring so gonna pull it this weekend and fix that and also picking up tho from my buddy!
Monster stage 3 can you say 6500 rpm clutch dumps
.
Also got my lid conversion almost done!

Been working on the car a little bit here and there.
Trying to sell my truck and get a new dd but That'll be a suprise later once I get it.
As for the car figured out most of my issues wiring and sensor wise and now I'm just trying to figure out the issue I'm having with my master cylinder I cut my hole a little low dj I gotta fix it now where I cut it a little higher.
Here's a new video though couldn't get t to load in he though.

Got my last k member bolt in that I've been putting off for a while.
Got new front calipers,pads and rotors.
New tie rods.
Got my temp radiator support tie downs lol.
Relocated my fuel line behinds the brake booster.
And finally got my flowmaster merge welded up.
Hoping to order some pipe here soon and a muffler and cutout and do a mufflex style catback with the hide away tip.

Well put it some good work on the car today!
First ran all my brake lines took up most of my day.
Gonna run those into the third heb proportional valve to delete abs once I get all the fittings.
Other than that I tightened one of the trans bolts that was loose and bolted a few other things up as well as messed with some wiring routing under the hood and put my catback on again finally lol!
Ran into an issue with the master cylinder placement that even though the bracket lines up good the rod is at a angle and it's just not right so I'm gonna move it over about a 1/4 inch to the drivers side.

very nice, right now i'm trying to re coupe some parts and such for my car. So far i've got a lid and installed the old hurst shifter from my camaro. Should be picking up some new rims sunday as well which is nice, so i'm going to document everything to start my forum once i think i have a good start, besides that itll probably be long tubes and slow sailing from here on out....

Well got my giant gaping hole covered up and got my shifter mounted!
With the six speed boot over the shifter it still looks like a six speed car!
Got my 4l80 flexplate with spacer and new bolts!
Hopefully gonna get up with a guy and get my 4000 stall next week and the trans should be here Tuesday.
