Quite the saga! Nice job on the install I personally was impressed with your homade tranny mount with the U channels for the exhaust. I read the whole thread and was really suprised you yanked out the LS. You must really enjoy working on cars........Oh and nice looking family too!

You can see the shaft in the right of the picture. I will take a pic, now that it is installed.
You buy this as a kit? Or did you purchase the steering rod seperately? thx

I started to just leave the box out, but after thinking about those cold mornings getting off of work I came to my senses.
Hey DJ...I know you did this years ago but do you have any pics of how and where you mounted your PCM?

I looked but couldn't find any pics. I basically stuck it in the factory hole and took a piece of that 1" wide banding that you buy in a roll and strapped it in. You WILL have to move your heater box towards the drivers side if you mount it in that location. Its a pita...

If I do it again I'm going to add about 4' to the harness and put it under the passenger seat.

Good info. Food for thought.

Is there any detriment to having it under the hood...other than aesthetics?

Thanks DJ.
