Latest progress...
Battery relocation, fuse box brkt mounted, all battery, alt, fuse box, and fan wiring complete.
Radiator, fan, tranny cooler mounted. Resused part of the Escalade cooler lines.
Also reused part of the Escalade rad hoses.
PCV lines ran(still need a breather can).
Modified radiator for steam vent tube. I was going to do the heater hose idea but thought it betterr to vent right directly below the overflow port.
Last night, I temp wired the ignition source. I connected my negative battery cable and the goal was to fire the ecu and read the data for HPtuners. After a few tries it made it.
Today i am working on finishing up PCV lines, steam vent, intake tubing.
Plan is to load the modified tune and fire her up this afternoon.

Great swap! I really love the old wagons. I like seeing things that are different, and no denying how useful having a wagon is.
I like the new wheels, but really, those Rallyes looked great on there too.

Realized I never posted pics of of the finished product.
Been running and driving for 2 full years now without so much as a hiccup.
Still lots to do...next step is moving to a house with a basement/garage at minimum but looking for/planning a big shop. So far, all has been done in the carport.
