Started getting busy on the long over due project. I recently painted the outside of the car at a friends paint shop,...then got the car home and broke it down. I got lucky on a Craigslist purchase ($2500.) with a 2000 Silverado 86k LM7, came with a ls2 intake, reprogramed computer and harness, 28lb injectors, and a z06 cam, (that still needs to be installed)...and a 4l60e trans, (that will get a shift kit and torque converter to match the cam, any suggestions on a manufacture?)..also purchased a TCI front clip...($4500.) So now I'm at the firewall stage, the car was originally a 2 speed powerglide, I converted it to a four speed manual, but now going back to a auto,...I had to weld up a few holes. I want to have a/c, not sure weather to leave the battery in the rear or move it to the front again,.. also looking to get a new wire harness, thinking about a I.S.I.S, but realistically going to go with a EZwire harness...Here are a few pictures of where Im at, I should have the fire wall painted this Saturday, and most of the front clip bolted up on Sunday,..wish me luck and thanks for reading! Any questions or suggestions please feel free to pm me.

Looks like a fun project. American autowire is better ..imho...then ezwire.

Moving along, got the fire wall painted and started the TCI front clip,..I tried to install the springs without the weight of the motor, just ended up scratching the paint and getting frustrated! I have two different type of spring compressors too, oh well, ..next weekend I will tackle installing the motor and tranny, and see if I can get those springs installed.....
