That's pretty neat..is it the correct length to match the Tailshaft Housing to the Torque Arm?

Supposedly enough where you can make the adjustments. We will see.

Thanks for that.

I went ahead and ordered a bracket and a SD5H14 compressor. It looks like it should fit in there.

Good luck with your engine test fit tomorrow!

I worked on it all day couldn't get it in. I realize if I'm going to use the batwing oil pan I will have to put it on after the engine is in.The F-body dampener is not going to work. I ordered some C5 accessories.

So one more day of education

My corvette accessories came in.

I can't put the engine back in until I pin the balancer. I'm waiting on a pin kit.
Meanwhile I have been cleaning the engine bay preparing it for a coat or PR-15.
I'm also going to coat the C5 manifolds in PR-15 High heat.

I finally had time to do some work.
I cleaned up the oil pan and painted the engine bay with POR-15 engine enamel.
That stuff works great. It also goes a long way. So far with a pint I have painted my HSR with 3 coats and the engine bay. I used a foam brush previously to paint with it but the engine bay tore up 4 of them before I switched to a regular paint brush. The paint brush made things very messy. I needed to get into a hard spot so used a 6" brush. Bingo!! the brush worked great, didn't make a mess and didn't hold much paint so it helped spread the paint better. I was about 25% done when I switched to the brush.

was wondering why do you need the tailshaft adapter? arent you using the 700r

LSCha0s

iTrader: (4)

No, I'm going with a 4l60E. the adapter will allow me to mount the 700R4 tail shaft and retain my torque arm.

Ok, I have been waiting on pulley and pin kit all this time. They came in yesterday.
Today I pinned the balancer. I hope to have the engine back in for good within the next few days.
BTW If anyone need a balancer installer and pin kit I have them for sale.

A little more progress, yesterday I put the pan on. Now its ready to drop in.
Also received the Temp sender.

This is an older style sender machined to fit the LS1.

good to hear you're not stuck on something .

good job so far

I kinda am .. I never thought I would say this but "I need a man"

I had my wife hold the flywheel while I attempted to tighten the crank pulley and she wasn't strong enough. I think I might wait until it's in the car.

I worked on the TPI harness today. Here is what I did. I deleted the what is marked with an X and labeled everything else accordingly. I was very surprised when I pulled what I though was a bulkhead to find a pass through. Now I'm wondering whether I should follow the wires in the dash and take them out of their respective connectors or just leave them where they are.
DO not Delete B8 its feeds the VSS signal to the PCM .. you need this.
