no.... just fill out his sheet saying what you will be running, and the setup you are running, the more specific the better.... he will email you if he has any questions or anything else...

I have a question on the mounts you used. Im about to start the same project (less turbo setup). With the mounts you used, did the trans crossmember bolt in the same location?? Im currently running a Pontiac engine with a 700R4 and I'd like to keep the trans in the same location.

I didnt see the mounts he used... but I used carshop 1" setback plates... and a xmember for the 4l60e trans.... still had to drill new holes... about 1-2" back

So, If I used the regular mounts, I could probably get away with the same holes in the crossmember?? Or at least come really close. I REALLY dont want to get my driveshaft cut, or have to replace it.... I had the current one made when I swapped to the 700R4...

I just got my GM "Muscle Car" pan from Jegs today... Damn those guys are quick... I just ordered it Saturday morning..

Im gathering parts pretty quickly.. Cant wait to start...

Purchased a set of Mickey Thompson DR 295/55/15 almost new. The price was right, but anyone know what they will look like on a stock rim?

Being turbo, I'd get a dyno tune. Yes, cost a little more but, I think you'll get more out of it and safer on parts. Look up WWW.efialchemy.com they're in the Jax area. Heard nothing but good about this place.

Well got the MAF removed, installed IAT sensor, got the 60lb injectors installed. Steve at Frost said he will be sending PCM, and MAP out Thrusday! Going with a 93/Alky tune, I have my 1987 Grandnational setup the same way, and it makes fuel issues simple. Had to take cooolant line off TB, and run to the heads. Got to get M/T DRs mounted, and its time to test.
