Got the belt setup done. Hope it don't eat belts. Everything fits between the 26" frame rails!

 

nice setup..who makes the brackets

 

I do. I can't see spending a couple grand on some brackets and pulleys.

 

damn dude! skills!

wiring up the MS3 yourself?

is it the ms3/ ms3pro / ms3 gold?

 

Its a MS3X and yes I am wiring it myself. I wire drag cars for buddy's and street rods for a friend that has a shop. I hear too many people say "that's close enough" to let someone else work on my stuff. I hope to get enough fab and wiring work with people seeing the nova that I can start working full time in my shop.


Thanks for the compliment's

 

awesome i would love to see some of the wiring skills in there!

i would love to watch a person who wires cars like this for a living and pick up some tips and tricks to clean up my own stuff or the quick way to get it done correctly, i do pretty good on my own, i dont have any issues with faulty wiring i just dont build anything pretty hahah

 

Just take it one wire at a time and NEVER say "it's good enough"! It may take a bit more time, but the end result is worth it. This project tested me, no room under the dash. Not an LS but BS3 controlled efi hilborn, kinda cool

 

man i find it harder when i go one wire at a time haha

 

Damn I just seen you are in grand island. We are 20 miles apart. Do you ever go to GCA days in st. paul? My camaro is pretty well known there. Yea I like to make my stuff look clean and take my time. I'm actually starting on a 5.3 S480 build. Would love to come look at your car

 

I lived in St. Paul from 2004 to 2008. I had a flat black 62 nova I drove then. I remember playing with a green late 90's Camaro that sounded healthy.

 

Yea the green one is mine. I remember you flat black nova cus I always wanted to see if it was for sale

 

 

Love the bracket setup. ****'s nasty. Any pics of the fab work for those?

 

awesome car! I have one just like that Im working on.

 

I will try and get some pics of the brackets, been out of town all weekend

 

got the engine and 4l80 in this weekend. Has anyone used the microsquirt for tranny control? I am not sure if I would be better off with the megashift on the GPIO board or the microsquirt to work with my megasquirt 3.

 

soon as i get this thing ready to drive i have a prototype Megashift from EFI source and plug and play 80e harness.

im using their MS3 box and the mega shift together

 

I have been using a microsquirt for a trans controller on the 4l80e, for the last 4 years. As have a few others, but not as long.

The GPIO has more "features" but I started using the Microsquirt before the GPIO was "ready" and the microsquirt seems to be enough to get the job done.

And, has been fool-proof so far.

+1 for the Microsquirt, here.

 

You still running the Convo Pro wheels? I always liked them but you hardly ever see them now.

 

Very nice build so far. Should run well.
