Default Project update..

I know some of you guys are keepin an eye on this..here is what I got so far..
Looks like tomorrow it start day if everything goes right.

This is after today's work. I got a late start, ran into a couple of problems, but I have everything set for tomorrow. I got to get the Balancer on, and then it's goin together.

I re-located the Fan and Tranny Cooler to infront of the Radiator. I have a Manual Fan circuit and for some reason only 1 Fan will work, so I put it on the hot side of the Radiator. When it was on the Cold Side, it stayed at 190 when it was on and in traffic, so it should work out good. I have it wired to blow through.

I ran in to a problem with Motor Mounts and had to modify the ones on the K-member. I got it on it..the hard parts done. It's easy money from here.
This is a couple of pics of me finishing up for the day..

You're not gonna have any air movement through that tranny cooler when your sitting still. You would have been better off fixing the fan problem and leaving them in the original location. Looks like you got a nice little combo going together though. Keep us updated.

The Tranny Cooler has always been there, and the Fan was on the Cold Side, and it ran at 190 in Traffic. I have no AC ino the Car, think it will do alright this way. The Fan spins a little faster than the high-speed setting.

Yea..even with all the snags along the way..

Trust me...there will be all kinds of vids..
I am using the LT1 Radiator..it's the same as the LS1.

I am using a 1999 Camaro LS1 Harness, and a 2002 LS1 PCM. The Harness I built custom for the Car.
It's going to be great being a 1995 "OBDI" Car for Emissions...

Here is it after today's work..ran into a couple of snags, but that's going to happen.
Looks like tomorrow is the big day..all that is left is some wiring, hooking up the Fuel, then it's on..
