I finished installing my Dash..



The wires there are for the shifter and the OBDII Port. I'm looking for some type of Center Console that I can mount that will cover the shifter and have 2 cup holders in it.

Well here's today's work..

I installed the Eaton Tru Trac Posi Unit..



This truck was factory with 26 Spline Axles, so I went to the junkyard and found a 99 Sonoma that someone had pulled the Diff out of and left the 28 Spline Axles..win.

I assembled the Sending Unit with a LS1 F-body Fuel Pump..I dont see any problem with it working..



In the Gas Tank it went, it is now officially a roller..

I installed & wired in the Shifter..



It's an F-body Shifter & Linkage.

The Regal Console didnt work out, I'm going to save the pattern plate and make one out of some aluminum sheet I have.

Well here's what I need to make the Intake work..

http://www.siliconeintakes.com/produ...b26ae066a090f6

These guys make some bad *** ****..
I ordered it and it will be here in a few days. I was going to try and fab up something on my own..but this will work alot easier. I'm going to go down to the Exhaust Shop and get a 12" piece of 3.5" Exhaust Pipe and get that setup to run the MAF and Filter off of that.
