Build is looking good! I check over here now and then to see how you are doing...

I run my th400 ls powered notch with no vss and it does not care at all.... it may involve some tricky tuning if you still want your dfco etc to work.

my turbo ls powered notch has been 9.51@147 at 3000 ft above sea level with a stock bottom end 6.0.

There is a few of them in the LOW 5s in the 1 8 mile.

started mounting the shifter


i love being able to do my own powder coating.
coated the plate that the shifter mounts too.

the intercooler pipes i bought off ebay where ugly flat black, well now their pretty. also the bov and iat are installed.

breather tank from jegs befor and after.


also coated my alternator bracket and valve covers



i got my driveshaft and 1350 pinion yolk. car has 3.73 in it now but i bought 3.27 i might leave the 3.73 in for now and swap the 3.27s later.
i got my radiator back from having the elbow put on and 2 leaks fixed. gotta make hoses and mount fan and trans cooler. then route exhaust. get a 93 cobra master cylinder and then run a pcv system and some vacume lines

has a nice stance too

still kinda hard to start but a full dyno tune should take care of that.

got the new master cylinder on and new rear brake lines installed. finished hooking the shifter up.
interrior needs to go back in, and clean up some of the fuel and pcv lines and wiring under the hood
and the big news
car drove up the court and back under its own power last night.
