Car already has tubular k member, 5 lug conversion, all that stuff. No ac.
You can make the ford rack work with the gm pump. I went with a manual rack for weight savings and it was less stuff to buy.

Send me text tomorrow. I'm working nights I should be up by noon. Also It will be a while before I hook up my speedo. When I decided to crawl under the car again and hook up the autometer sensor. I found out my trans speedo hole was filled in. Im going to have to remove the tail shaft and see what they did and if I can put it back to stock

I picked up a nitrous kit the other day. I made a bracket out of a do not enter sign I found. I'm starting with a 150 shot. I'm going to use the button on my shifter to activate it

Grats on getting it on the road, looks and sounds good. I was wondering if you got any times on the motor yet? Or maybe weighed it?

Yea my speedo is electric I thought about using the GPS unit but my cluster came with the old style sender. The plug for my speedo is leaking so Im going to pull the tail shaft tomorrow and replace it with a new sending unit. If everything works out this week I'll go to the track on friday. Im working night shift so I dont have a lot of time to work on it during the day.

Also my 6.0 mainfolds came in. Im researching the rest of the parts I need for a single turbo
any suggestions let me know

For some reason the driver side has no spark or fuel. I checked the grounds and and fuses. I'm not seeing and frayed or cut wires. I'll mess with it this week and hopefully get it figured out before Friday

I picked up 6.0 manifolds 2.5" v bands and a bunch of bends with a t4 flange. I'm going to start mocking up the hot side on my ls1. I'm going to run a on3 performance t76 .96 ar and buy an eBay intercooler/ cold side piping kit. My dad is getting the vbands welded to the manifolds so one those are ready I'll begin the rest of the fab work

I know this is an old post but I just started my swap. Do you have a detailed document of your wiring under the dash? I got the dash off today and I was looking around kind of lost. I'm doing the Florida 50 cluster also and need to keep the a/c I'm not sure what I should and shouldn't be cutting. Of course, I want all my illuminated lights too.
