my 68 ls1 shortstep
good to know. thanks for the appreciated advice, ill have to reconsider the wiring harness. i did know that the pcm would need to be reprogrammed, and budged in 300$ for that. am i understanding this correct, if i sent my wiring harness in and specified what all sensors im running, ill get it back with all the wires labelled and extra lenght if need?
what about the fuses and relays? does it come with that also? BTW i started reworking my orignal harness last night, and that brings up alot of questions. almost to much to list, so if anyone wanna help me out i can PM that would be great.so far its goin good, but need a schymatic of the firewall to inside connection with what wire does what?
well got a little new progress......
took it down to the frame
after it got to the frame i took it to get sandblasted,
and the frame back from sandblasting.

Damn, trucks are easy to do a frame-off.. Everything comes apart in small pieces!. That looks great, especially engine! very clean the way you did it. What are your plans for brakes/gears/front susp, etc? Decided on a color? Any power adders?

(about 15 new at GM Dealer) All you need to do is drop the trans pan, take one nut off, slide the old shaft out, slide the new one in tighten the nut back up and put the pan back on. It was really easy to do.
the mounts are from ebay ( i think they cost me 38 shipped) and im using tubular engine stands from performanceonline.com
it mounts up perfect..... ill post a pic if i can find one.
