not sure on pigtail connectors, somebody probably throw that in. maybe Brendan at LT1Swap.com sells them? He can do your pcm stuff. otherwise look online for the connectors. go salvage yard hunting find a small underhood fuse panel you like and wire things into. Im using a cavalier(95-04) underhood 1 on my truck. it already has relays for fan & fuel pump. I rearranged fuse curcuits so part will be battery power/ part key on power. Looks like it will work out. I made a bracket that holds pcm and fuse panel together. putting it on left wheelwell area somewhere. I didnt move pcm from left wheel area like I did on my skylark. movingpcm in truck harness makes you cut/heatshrink solder a lot. lengthen & shortening wires.

Sorry everyone. Busy with life. Picked up a dual fan setup and a p/s pulley pulley from one upullit this weekend, and wouldn't ya know, there was a 93 fox body at the other yard. So I came home this weekend with my 8.8 also.
So in the mean time, I've been working on all the little shot that seems to eat up way too much time. Cut the alternator bracket, working on the pass side header. Radiator is in.
Been talking to Kevin over at Baseline suspension. Gonna go pick up the gold kit from him maybe this weekend. All I need now is a pair of 4 lug wheels and I'll darn near be open for business.

just put some junkers on go get chevy pattern drilled in them. I heard you can use 2 passenger side axles from 8.8 to get 5 lug ford pattern then you can run dual bolt pattern wheels. I was into 5.0 stangs in past. It was a duh time of life I guess as I been GM all life.

yes with ranger, you can also use 93 & later cobra stang disc brakes as well if you can find cheap enough. The cutlass should do well after its heart transplant. Patient will be able to blow expectations of some kids to bliverins. Get a dose of that. woo!

You guys really do help put a little motivation in me. Gotta drop the 8.8 off to get sand blasted so I can tear it apart and get it stuffed in this weekend hopefully. I gotta busy weekend coming up, But hopefully I can snap some pics of the progress tonight or Sunday.

I'll be trying to upload pics all day, but there's a lot of stuff done and the list of to do's keeps getting shorter.
There's only a few obstacles left. Drive shaft, wiring, shifter, fuel pump and lines....
