sorted some more wiring today, removed alot of the factory wiring that was left in the car i didnt need. added coolant and oil and trans fluid. capped the heater core. got the plugs and all that in. exchanged my fuel pump out (i had a used paxton that was questionable wether or not it worked so i picked up a bosch 044 and got that mounted today and changed the fittings out i needed to) should run tomorrow if i finish the harness up and get the grounds done!

Another gauge question for you. Do you still have an odometer? If so I imagine its built into the speedometer gauge?

ace32x

yea its built in the speedo and its digital has 3 trips

slow progress today, got the starter wired up, passenger header on and 02's in the headers and all those hooked up. charged the battery and turned her over! everything sounded good no weird noises. just need to wrap up the ignition wiring now and its good to go

What alternator and ps pump bracket is that.

ace32x

c5 vette.

on another note, got the harness done today. now have fuel and spark. but cant get the car to fire. went in and turned vats off. swapped car to manual. bumped the idle up and wrote all those changes in hp tuners. then went back in after and adjusted the injector sizes to 60 lbs and wrote that change. now after that when ever i go in to write any changes i get a fail error. so kind of stuck till i figure whats up with the hp tuners.

Hit it with a hammer. That should fix it.

I'd love to do a 240 this bodystyle. My mom had a 96 Concord Grey that she totaled 2 weeks after I got my license(was raining like a **** and she hydroplaned). Hers was a hydroplane queen, I can't count how many times I felt it start to hydroplane in the rain. That car was a hoot to drive with the 4 banger in it. I almost bought a 97 in pensacola, fl that had a LS6/T56, that thing was an absolute riot to drive, we couldn't meet on a price unfortunately. Good luck man.

have since got it to write, and leaned the ve map way out in hopes of getting it to fire with the bigger injectors but no luck. not sure what to check from here.

Ran into some clearence issues and belt some valves and messed up the stock pistons. My Machinist took a little to much off and I didn't double check. So block is back out and stripped and its getting a 383 stroker now with some 11: 1 pistons. Should make an easy 500 na when all back together ;D, on the hunt for some good 243 heads to get cnc'd out with some bigger valves and a fast 102 and 102 tb to go with it
