Glad to hear you swapped the steering box Don. It's one hell of an upgrade from the stock unit. You should be clear on the steering with the Holley -2 pan. It's designed very thin up front like the F body pans so your drag link will not hit it.

Looks good, Any issues with the headers? They look like they fit nicely.

What accessory bracket kit is that? It looks like your power steering pulley will hit the steering box when it's installed. Does it have clearance?

The headers are awesome they fit really nice.
The brackets I used are from LSSimple also very nice
and excellent support from Murphy he's a one man show.
Yes I had to call LSSimple and order the small P/S pump
pulley it was just touching.
Yea I think i got screwed on my harness, I have another
guy that's local and can get me a harness in a few days
he's going to put me on priority after hearing my story.
If I'm lucky I'll get it fired up by this weekend

Damn, that sucks on the harness. Worst part is he got your money AND your stock harness, what a dirtbag.

Alright I got the Elco back from the exhaust shop.
Put 6.2 quarts (actually put in 6) in it as Holley says with my LM7 dip stick it shows im a 1/2" over full (this is after dry cranking to prime the oil system) Holley directions also say to use a LS3 dip stick is there a difference between them as to the full level?
Also getting ready to put the plugs and plug wires on what gap should I use 45?
Does my cam change effect the plug gap?
I also finished up my cold air intake today Ill take some pics and post them up.
this afternoon
