KJT11, making good progress. Thanks for the updates.
Don't forget that w/ a lot of effort you can tack your own LT headers together using a 1 3/4" primary kit & 4" to 2.5" collector (true duals). Once you get it where you want it, take the manifold plates & header assy's to a local welding shop & have them final tig welded.

Heres my big issue with the fuel lines coming off the pump. I understand that the NB has connectors that you can get 5/16th quick connects for, however ive seen tons of NAs with double clamps, which at the end of the pumps tube it flares out, due to the fact that the original fuel lines were crimped on with a quick C clamp. So one im sure its doable and two how would you weld your own fittings on.

Got my drive line, its pretty straight forward, welded the front of my differential in at 2 degrees for the driveshaft angle.
Botled her up
Lifted this tank in
Installed these sexy axles
Filled all fluids and bled brakes and clutch!
Also i had to make my steering shaft slide by my POS headers, now its off to some little bits of wiring, Powersteering, and cooling hoses. Headed to get racing seats this weekend.

Sorry I was working on wiring all up till saturday morning, knocked out some exhaust ( stainless ) pics on that will be when its done. But as of today the car started up! Had a small starting issue, somehow a diode failed in my cluster causing a no start. But shes alive! Dash is goin back in and i have to finish up some seat brackets to test drive it. check the movie!
Threw on some fuel rail covers, gotta make them fit
HP tuners is how im tuning my PCM
My girlfriend held my seat in position while i Tigged up brackets, only took an hour...
Got 2 intermidiate oval track seats, drivers a 10 degree at 15in and pass is 20 degree at 16 inches, so passengers better get slim or ill get a milk carton out.
Now ive gotta finish up some exhaust and add my spintech muffler, do some tuning and see how she runs

That should set me up for a fairly easy install of a fat turbo up front.
I'd love to go LS, but that is almost like starting over.
edit: I signed up here since I'm scavenging some LS parts for my fuel injection.

I was on the road today and man did i **** some homless man off with having no muffler, he tried throwing himself in front of my car so the cops got involved, needless to say they ended up telling me i should put a muffler on it as soon as i can to please the nearby people, which i planed on doing any way. Got my custom spintech muffler, yep it was made wrong, so now i get to frankenstien it which is lovely, atleast the car drives!

Looks like she's about done. Thanks for the build thread. Just be careful about the spray. The ***** in the Ohio Congress have made the use of nitrous oxide a "Felony."
