Hello everybody, Sorry for the lack of updates but Ive had lot of crap taking up too much of my time, but I think things have finally calmed down enough for me to concentrate on my swap again. Here is where I think I left off.
Wrecked my brothers truck due to a dumbass not paying attention (me) COST ME 500 BUCKS FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE![Bang Head](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_banghead.gif)
![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/u2.jpg)
Bought a house...
![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01538.jpg)
Finally was able to send my wiring harness and computer to Wait4me performance..![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01641.jpg)
I had to completely unwrap the harness and start from scratch because it only allowed the ecu to be located in the engine bay on the drivers side.![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01642.jpg)
Here it is about half way done. It now will exit straight out the back of the motor and into the firewall, From there to under the dash.![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01682.jpg)
I also started to install a cage and mockup on my seats. I should be ready to have them reupholstered in the next few weeks. I just need to find A good shop that will do it for under 1200 bucks.![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01688.jpg)
I think somebody asked for some oil pan clearance pics. Here is the best one I have, let me know if that does not work for you.![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01691.jpg)
I also picked up a ls3 intake with injectors off craigslist for 100 bucks
it only has 2500 miles on it too. I think you know whats coming next![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01692.jpg)
I also have some plans to buy my wheels with the 8000 dollar tax credit from buying my house

THE450R: Sorry I couldnt find the tag with a part number, but all I did was go to the part store and look throught the hose section. Autozone had more than a few of them in stock, so whatever its supposed to be for was common.
MrBollWeevil97 : I plan to use the kit from DSE, but Ive put all my money and effort in to getting it running. Carcraft had a article on it, But I will definitely need it soon here in Seattle.

9WhiteCamaro9: I was quoted 2,100 for powder coated silver spokes with polished hoops in 18x9's and 18x10's, but I didnt ask if that included shipping, and that was before the economy tanked too.

Here is a little update:
Fianally was able to order my Covan's thunder road panel and gauges...![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01704.jpg)
![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01705.jpg)
![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01702.jpg)
I picked up a set of procar seats from jegs. Very nice seats for the price...![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01703.jpg)
![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01706.jpg)
![](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j157/383chevelle/DSC01707.jpg)
I also ordered a tire and wheel simulator from Percy's so I can order my wheels soon![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
Update: Just ordered my new wheels monday 3/7
Should be here in a month though
18x9 for the front and 18x10 rear. Polished with no hardware and a rolled lip.
I also ordered a new fuse box and wiring harness specifically designed for gm muscle cars with the newer style fuses. I never liked the tube style. This should also make wiring the engine alot easier too.
I cant wait for the weather to start getting nicer, so I can go for a drive
