Thanks guys, I can't wait to get it on the road, still got a little ways to go, but this was a big step, I owe a lot to my buddy Rory, he tackled the wiring himself, and got it running for my birthday, he surprised me and used his 2 days off to work on my car, just to have it running for my birthday.

Whats up with it having no coolant in it?

That or your heater out/return are cleverly blocked.

Otherwise, good stuff!!

Admitting pure jelousy that your working in T-shirts while i got 6 sweaters on and a heater blasting in my face and still am freezing my nuts off.

Bringing this thread back from the dead...
I'm looking at the same headers for my 89 vert. How did they fit with the stock K? I have a smooth firewall and will not be running heat and AC.

Why not?

I was going to do a 4.8/T56 in my '92.

99 6.0 does not use a crankspacer. it has a longer crank.
youll need to swap out the input shafts or use an lt1 based 4l60, if thats possible with the wiring.
ls1 based 6 spd with stock parts will not bolt up to a 99 6.0 either.
