Hi guys, thanks for the kind words, sorry I've been busy.. lots work to do at work + long weekend getaway + procrastinating cutting up my floors for SFC's = no progress!!
MillsMotorvation... The cost list showed something for the fuel rail crossover because the one that came on my engine ended up being damaged so I needed a new one from the dealer... It's a stock '05 Yukon LQ4 return-less crossover tube. And Mark is right, the VSS signal is only used by the PCM for the cruise, skipshift solenoid, reverse backup solenoid, and the auto trans controlling, before they started making the auto's have their own mini controllers I do believe. I plan on using it though when I put in all new electric gauges. And to answer your previous Q.. the origin of your engine isn't important, was just trying to figure if it did indeed come from a return-style vehicle.
350SS... Why the headbanging? Is there something I can help ya with?
Progress will resume tomorrow night after I have a couple beers, and suck it up and start cutting into my floor!

I haven't been working on the car too much recently, been out enjoying the whole Olympics atmosphere, I gotta say I'm really proud of our city, and the weather has been absolutely phenomenal; going downtown to see the different venues is such a trip, there are SO many people around it's unreal... good times!!!
Gotta love "progress"... car got chopped up even more :S
Some ignorant asswipe previous owner decided that instead of properly fixing some pinhole rust, they'd just slap on a bunch of fiberglass and call it a day. Sometimes the cure is worse than the problem, I'm glad I found this... look how thick it was laid on!!
Luckily it seems like most of the cancer was actually in the hunk of floor I chopped out, talk about getting lucky/killing two birds with one stone!!

...and this is what's going inside that hole...
The top half of the subframe connector will butt against this ridge in the floorpan. The rear framerails have formed endpieces that connect to this ridge..
The bottom half of the SFC will poke below the floor and end up having plate connecting it to the actual framerail...
I'm thinking I'll probably add an extra plate connector piece to reinforce the front end welded connection to the subframe.
They're 2 pieces mitered at a slight angle. There's a notch right around the joint so the front piece can be welded around the under-seat-floorpan-cross-brace-thingy...
And they'll end up being pretty stealth...

Too bad about the fibreglass as well...-
