Hey Merv, gotta a question...

I'm tired of trouble shooting everytime my car seems to be acting funny... Can I run a 96+ lt1 engine harness and pcm so that I can have obdII?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm back from my "fun in the sun," I need to do some front suspension work and exhaust work then I'll be able to do the break in. I'll post up videos when I get the chance (I've got to catch up on some other stuff other than the car).

Good to be back, hopefully I can make some good progress on the ride over the next few months (maybe even have it ready to beat on by next summer ).

I haven't been on in awhile (work has been hectic, plus a buddy of mine just got a mint 2002 Lightning that I've been under the hood of), so progress has been slow, but coming along. I've got some side projects going on though.

It's a Ford so you might aswell take the Hood off now to make things easier.

What's going on with this Mullet car?

The hood may need to come off for the Whipple....

Waiting on third member, axles, drive shaft, torque arm, crossmember, ultra bell, and the fuel cell. I've been busy making stuff (aluminum dash pad, fiberglass center console, and I'm about to hack out the t-top storage in the trunk) and just finished rebuilding the trans (still have to cut the bell off and get an aluminum pan). I just picked up LS spindles and calipers now I need to order up some slotted rotors, ceramic pads, line lock, and ABS delete.

I went on vacation so the car kind of got forgotten about for a little while.

Sounds like a good plan of attack.

Yeah, mostly just squirreling parts right now. I just finished getting the rear housing stuff together (HRW style case, Grizzly locker, Aluminum Daytona pinion support, 3.89s, 35 spline star-flanged axles, screw-in 5/8 studs) and laid down some POR-15 on it. I've got the bell, scatter-shield, aluminum deep pan, Lokar locking dipstick (36"), and crossmember on order. I've been eye-balling a TCI Pro-X tail housing. I still need to gut the trunk (work has been busy lately). I also swapped out to a grant wheel, made an aluminum dash, and I've got the fiberglass console at about 90%.

And calling me with retarded questions....

Here are a couple of my side projects. I went with a little aircraft panel styling. The dash panel is .025" aluminum sheet, and the console is entirely fiberglass with aluminum inserts.

Here are some new pictures, I finally got around to chopping the factory TH400 bell of in favor of an Ultra Bell.

Okay, this one has been dead for long enough (I've FINALLY had some time to do some wrenching). I've finally dropped the 10 bolt out and slung the 9" in it's place, gutted the trunk for the cell (cell is mounted, just need to tin it all up), and started installing all of my MWC goodies (PHB, SFCs, Short TA, Front & Rear bumper supports) and have a set of Viking shocks on the way with some LCAs. I'm getting ready to plumb the fuel system (Holley Dominator fuel pump -10 all the way to the Holley rails -8 return) and install the TH400 (waiting on the roller tail and the cooler line pressure regulator to prevent any possible thrust issues). I also fabbed up a battery box for the spare tire area. I'll post some in-progress pics when I get a chance to break out my crappy camera. Also still need to sort out the brake lines and get the line lock/ABS delete.

I've been really bad with updating this thread, lol. However, I have been making process with the cell installation. I was going to build a bulkhead around the cell and use a cover over the top with some Dzus fasteners, but I said screw it and I'm going to use a Wolfe bulkhead.
