I used a split one, makes it easy if you already have the wire ran and want to add it

i was actually meaning a cannon plug for electrical. its a tight fit, water tight, east connect/disconnect operation. would make for a really clean/easy wiring harness junction to mount flush on the firewall somewhere

i dont know if anything like this has ever been used in the "show car world or anything but i think it would be pretty slick if the connections stay good for along time

i have the motor torn down, and head studs and main studs installed, dropping it off to get bored .020 over and do a line bore and cleanup, then time to start assembling it again with compstar forged rods, weisco forged pistons for 10.6:1, turbo 1.5 cam, ls7 lifters, moly push rods, 799 heads, tooley dual springs w/ titanium retainers, melling oil pump,

cant wait to get the block back and get the rotating assembly balanced then start throwing it back together,

the updates will be slow due to having my first child born nov 30th!

 

dropped off the rotating assembly today, and came home to a nice suprise!

 

got it back from the machine shop and assembled a shortblock woth all the goodies



dropped off the 799 heads and got them shaved, cleaned, and manley race flow valves and BTR .660 springs installed, should have them back tuesday, also sold my intercooler i had and going to buy the treadstone dual inlet and single outlet intercooler

 

 

then set it in place, much more room than before with the oem crossmember..... alot happier with it now!!!

 

what rack are you running? also i am going to run the cannon plug on my s10 they are very durable and water tight. We run them at work in our die casting machines so they are subjected to extreme heat and wet conditions non stop, along with vibration and the only problems we ever encounter with them is liquid getting in where they seal to the cable, but that is rare and easily remedied. Great looking build should be a beast when completed.

 

The rack is from trz Motorsports

 

Nice build , Love the color . Cant wait to see this thing run

 

Great build

 

Nice job! this thing is sweet!

 

nice build

 

Nice job on the build.

 

thanks guys, i ordered 1/2" longer upper a arms to hopefully correct my negative camber problems, havent put them on yet due to being busy inside with the baby lol i wish i had the funds to do it all at once but ill just go one step at a time, any sugestions or input is def appreciated! thanks for all the kind words!

 

also broke down and purchased a wilwood 140-11009-D disk brake kit fir the truck, going from the stock 1 piston brakes to a 4 piston larger disk drilled and slotted, should be nice!

also ordered the treadstone dual inlet single outlet intercooler,

 

 

 

got one side all buttoned up! have a little more cutting to do on the pass side spindle. then that side will get assembled, so far i love how its all starting to come together!
