Fuel stuff finally showed up aeromotive FPR, gauge, and fittings. Walbro 450 pump and install kit. Need to get a new hubs for the transmission TCS billet and rollerized forward hub. This fuel adapter was a booger to find ended up getting one of ebay. Its a 6AN Male to M14x1.5 female inverted flare. Got the dorman pulley on the camaro ss pump. Looks alot better then the plastic one. Part number if anybody wanted to know what it was took some searhcing and digging to find it.
Here goes my options for truck manifolds. They can work flipped either way after trimming and adding v bands. Taking them to work with me to cut the OE flanges off and test fit before having the bands tacked on. Let me know you think. Thanks for looking.
Looks a lot tighter than I thought it would be. Do you plan to just go turbo now since that DS manifold runs right into the rack?
I figured either way is going to be a battle, so i plan on going turbo and having the turbo on the passenger side behind the headlight. so for the crossover pipe to fit im going to go a different radiator route so i can mount it in between the radiator support rails and still run a/c (fingers crossed). the crossover is going to be 2" does having each side equal lengths going to the turbo matter?
Flanges cut more test fitting to come after work. Driver side manifold. Is 2.5" v band to big? Passenger side manifold. Looks to fit better then the other side. Have to take these to get welded our shop isn't setup to weld stainless (forklift dealship/service)
Might have to find another manifold think i cut this one to short for the v band to go on 3" down pipe test fitting Clears the firewall The 3" i have is awkward tight V bend but seems to clear what i want it to
The progress of making my transmission mount. Took some measurements and then 3d printed some then tweaked it and printed again. I sent my final measurements to my buddy and he made the following mount for me hopefully testing the fitment out later on today.
Almost there. I picked up a 0.25" aluminum plate from amazon that delivered the next day to fab a pedal mount. You could probably do the same and just pick up the mount holes from your crossmember and drill some slightly oversized holes for the trans mount.

Thanks thats where i got the plates for the mounts can't beat the fast shipping. My buddy said he will make another one once he gets back from vacation.
Knocking out some small things while waiting on parts.
Had the little one help with the oil filter adapter today. Waiting on my trans mounts and engine mount spacers to be finished up then things will be back in full swing.
Some more transmission related parts are in and more on the way... I ripped some lip seals during the rebuild process😐😐. Also maybe a little screw up on the pump bushing while staking it.... is this still usable or should i knock it out and try again. The other side along with a little graze from the punch but i cant feel it when i run my finger nail across it.
Aright the transmission parts are slowly showing up so I'm knocking out what I can with what I have. This lip wizard is freaking awesome! Had it in on the second try. Direct finished with ck performance upgrade piston and springs Forward drum done with a new TCS billet rollerized hub. Yay bushings!...... Gonna have to google the best to get these out with trying to split them with a punch. Some attempted at trying to split the bushing... didn't go so well. Stay tuned for more as i work on it today.
Oh yeah forgot this came in friday.... so I'm use to smaller t3/t4 turbos on hondas mine was around 58-60 mm... this billet 7875 monster had me tickled lol.
Got the engine spacers and trans mount from my buddy this past weekend finally got around to messing with them. Still waiting on more transmission parts to finish the 4l80e. Surface area of the subframe for the spacers Subframe mounting hole is almost 1/2 inch thick How long the stud is on the bottom part of the mount 1/2 inch spacer Spacer on the mount (this is where the nut stops when its bolted to the subframe... it grabs enough threads right lol) Bolted up I'll have more pictures tomorrow of the transmission mount it was getting late so I ran out of time.
Transmission mount finished! This is the finished product of how its going to sit in the engine bay. Time to start knocking out the rest of the list. Felt good to check off that major part/headache. Spacer stack for the mounts that I'm going to run for clearance. Before the oil filter relocation block was on the powersteering rack lines.... notice the little pinch lol I'll fix it with the left over brake line i have. Oil pan clearance is awesome👌 Drum roll and the transmission mount in the stock location.
the last pieces of the transmission is due in on Saturday so plan is to knock out this weekend and have it all mounted in for the last time.
Ok so I've been fighting a o ring issue on the input shaft ripped 4... I mean this is my first transmission build but I cant be that terrible at it... so I did some measuring and found a flat spot on the input shaft, when I cleaned it up there was alot of bushing material on this spot.
also not car related had a few home arise like the hot water heater going out and stove burning up lol. New shaft is getting ordered Monday and hopefully I can switch my focus back to the build.
Back from vacation got the home issues sorted out time to get back to the build. The summit 300m input shaft came in and I got the seals installed, the seal install went so smooooth. Going to attempt final assembly this week HOPEFULLY I don't run into any more problems.
Made some progress on the transmission until it bite me lol Ouch.... but not really Nicely clean and organized work area... These where kinda of a pain to put back together... also it has been almost a year since i disassembled it all lol luckily i had a atar and atsg manual to reference. Reverse band and thin center support snap ring/spacer in Lower guts in Center support bolt is off.... I'll have to find the culprit tomorrow night... it was getting late and i ran out of beer so stay tuned.
Well I'm still fighting an issue I don't know if it's the rear case seal causing this issue but I've pulled and reinstalled the lower parts so many times in the past few days my arms are sore haha. The center support snap ring is giving me issues. Almost past the snap ring line. Snap ring in Fits alittle on this section Not going in at all in this area.
