Finally got the gauge panel all wired up and screwed in place. Plastic fuel tank is next on the list.

Glad to see it didn't fizzle out. Should be quite a riot.

Nice ride man, I have a 87 brougham LS that I'm planning on putting a 6.0 in but modified. My plans are consistent 11s on just motor and have maybe 100-150 shot. I have a few parts for it already. Im have a H3 pan that im going to use BUT I can figured out which motor mounts to use. Also I will be keeping it efi with Camaro or fast intake. I've been in emails with KCHenry about his swap and he's been very helpful. Do you kno which mounts to use with the h3 pan? btw, im going to use my beefed up TCI streetfighter Trans 700r4. Thanks

Might not be a bad idea to install one of these Auto Meter LED lighted gauge dimmers allow you to dim your LED gauges separately from other factory dashboard gauges. These dimmers are compatible with all other LED-lit instruments, and are capable of adjusting up to seven gauges together.

All I've got is the new Autometers though. They dim a little with the headlight switch, but the 'stat on it is worn out. If I get a new switch, I'll be OK.

Default Header Fab

Loweredd, do you still have the headers you were fabing up? I like how you did your gages, with the aluminum stock and not a bad layout either. Anyway I'm considering a twin turbo for my buick and was interested in your header build.
Thanks nice ride...

Yes, I still have them. I have a guy who wants me to finish the car and sell it to him, but it is getting regular exhaust, so I could see the tacked headers for pretty cheap!

What are you considering lower mile? and what are you trading just the turbo'd 5.3?? I have a 87 caprice and also looking to drop a LQ4/LQ9 in it..but want to make sure I have everything before i start on it. Been doing lots of researching, etc.

Lower mile........under 100,000? I'm offering the whole car with everything. It has a 5.7 LS1, but there's no turbo on it. Car, air ride, engine/trans, Synister kit.
