i just dont want a tb thats bigger than the intake manifold... i found a great deal on the alt, water pump, tensioner and ac compressor so im getting that stuff tomorrow as well as the oil pan and wiring harness. maybe merv can teach me how to do the wiring harness instead of charging me to do it.

mine that i bought is an auto my ecm is tuned for a t56...
the guy i bought the ecm from took the harness out by cutting ALL the connectors off :doh: he told me he would sell the parts thats left for $600 but i dont have a way to load the shell with excellent doors, the dash is cracked one rear seat has no cover, and its a salvage title and i dont have $600... if i did i would have me some ls3 heads. if i would have had another 75 bucks i could have snagged the rack but i didnt.

i knocked the cam bearings out today and going back to work when it cools off to install the new ones... which should be a TON of fun with the rotating assembly in! im ordering my camshaft tonight as well. so my bottom end will be completed this week just have to find some bolts for the alt, ps pump, a/c, and put the oil pan in
