2000 SS Huron Speed Build/Resurrection
most of those parts on the right is for an aftermarket shifter, the one with the linkage arm is for the 4l80e cable. The rusted ones are different mounts to mount the linkage cable to the transmission.
Finally got some more parts in to post about.
Next week I plan on installing the 4L80E and Circle D converter. I also got some of my fuel system parts so I can put my tank back in the car. All of my fuel line is E85 compatible if i decide to go that route.
Hopefully once the tank and transmission is back in the car I want to bring it back to my house so that I can start buttoning up all the smaller stuff.
I also picked up some carbon fiber tube covers for my cage. I wanted to hydrodip some of my interior panels in carbon so hopefully it will all match.

Big day tomorrow! I cut the clearance holes in the trans tunnel in preparation for installing the 4l80 tomorrow. I also hope to get the squash performance fuel hat in and my tank back up in the car. I'll post some photos tomorrow!

Verdad Gallardo Got a lot done this weekends thanks to 2 of my good friends!
The turbo kit is all on. The front end is all back on. The brake lines are done. The 4L80 is in. Seeing the headlights and the front bumper back on got me so motivated to get this thing done.
Unfortunately, I made a mistake when ordering my Squash Performance fuel setup and I got the -6 Feed instead of the -8 fitting on the hat. Once I get the right fitting in, then the tank will be going in. I also need to order some new fittings for my trans cooler and that will go on.
Anyway, on to a few pics:
4L80 in. I need to get my steel drive shaft extended an inch and a half and the drivetrain will be complete.
Do people keep the EVAP usually? I probably should have researched that a bit more before keeping it on my Squash setup. Whats everyones thought?

It is the Huron speed intercooler bracket and the fit and finish on every part of the kit is excellent. I have not done it yet but yes I will need to trim/move the fuse box.
I had read before about needing to change where the fuse box sits but yours looked like it cleared. When the time comes can you take some pictures of how you moved it?
Unfortunately, not a lot of progress has been made. I got my tank back in the car, finished my power steering line relocation kit, and dropped my driveshaft off to get shortened.
I hope I will be bringing the car home in the next few weeks so I can finish the wiring on the transmission, the fans, the fuel pump, and my EWP.
I trimmed around the hole where the pipe goes through and trimmed the fuse box so it would fit closer to the drivers side front fender.

I haven't been up to work on the car in weeks and its been a bit neglected. But, I hope next weekend to bring it home so I can work on it more often and during the week.
I picked up a few parts:
When using the Derale fans, it looks like its recommended to run the Truck alternator? Am I correct in that?
Also, has anyone used Weld RTS 15x10 on stock length axles with Wilwood rear brakes? I have read some conflicting information and wasn't sure.
Long time, no update. I finally brought the car to my house and have been slowly plugging away. Thanks to the help of 2 of my best friends, the interior is in, trans cooler is plumbed, driveshaft is in, and the Madman trans dipstick is in. I also mounted up the Weld RTS 15x10 wheels and MT ET Street 28's to make sure they cleared my brakes, all is good.
I also picked up my Tial BOV, Tial WG, Innovate SCG-1, DW Fuel Pressure Regulator, and trunion upgrade for my roller rockers.
In the garage next to my 2002 SS:
Test fitting the FX1 Pros:
Full interior in:
Test fitting welds:
Hoping to get my radiator/condenser/fans mounted up and wired next.

When you're wiring up those fans, replace the fuse holders that came with them with something good. I swapped them out with 40A auto reset circuit breakers after both of them melted out and stranded me 3 hours from home. Lots of people have issues with them.
