I'm beyond excited to have this thing up and running How hard is it to steer if you leave stock rack in and no PS Pump?

I am dropping off most of the internal parts tomorrow for my engine guy to assemble.

Ordering fuel fittings/hose Friday. By the look of things, it'll be up by end of this month provided I don't miss any more parts, haha.

Alternator Relocation bracket came in today too!

Hahaha, guess that's a good way to explain this whole build thread!

I just dropped off the last few bolts to my engine guy so we should have the new block in the car by end of the month hopefully.

Still waiting to order my fuel fittings though as it's another couple hundred.

So we're looking at maybe mid July before she's going to be fired up and running again.

Marty Thomson over on the Boosted LSX page on facebook hooked me up and saved me close to $100 on my AN stuff.

It's coming down to the wire as I have an event the 31st. 29 days left to drop the engine in and get it tuned/dialed in!

Figured I should upgrade some of the suspension before it's all finished.

Waiting on my torque arm to be finished, BMR said they had to build it.

Awesome build you've got going, can't wait to see it finished. I see you're in Jacksonville as well, where are you having the engine work done?

What's your name? We have probably have met once or twice if you go out to the meets.

Tracy over at SpeedFab/Tuners Inc is building it for me at the moment.


Got more parts in today today as well. Have everything I need to finish fuel system minus the actual engine in car to measure lengths. Working on fuel bucket now.

My name is James, but I haven't been to any of the meets. I haven't had my current camaro for too long, after finally getting into another f-body. Hopefully I'll see you're car around town when it's done.
