Also, in the Intrest of keeping things clean in the engine bay, I picked up this 10an orb vacuum block, it has 6 1/8 npt ports on it. Going to run the brake booster port off the back of the Intake into the car under the dash, run my Hobbs,boost leash, fpr etc all off of it.
Also this car car will have cruise control, anyone ever mounted the module under the dash and hooked it to the gas pedal instead of the TB?

Looking at your set up.... im thinking youre not running your inner fenders?? Im at the point of fitting the monster in mine and darn it takes up some room!!!! I have the inner fenders primed and filled all the holes etc.... almost ready to paint, but wondering if im gonna run em or not. It complicates things fo sure... but it looks more finished i think and could/would protect all the parts from rock throwing.....

Harness is all done minus the vss sensor.
I need to finish the vss on this for my th400. I have a Dakota Digital cluster, complete with the pulse adapter for the mechanical speedo that says it has 128,000 ppm. I was planning on running the pulse generator to the ls pcm via the vss, and then getting the DD dash pulse from the 4K output from the ls pcm. Has anyone done it this way?
Anyone have an answer for this?

correct, some day in may try and make some adjustments to fit the inners in, I certainly tried to retain them. My primary goal was an effecient turbo setup. I spent about two days trying to fit this thing in here and keep the inner fenders, but I'm the end I wasn't happy with the looks of the pipes and all the extra angles I would have had to make
Anyway, i saw your going to run a boost leash?? Hummm.... Im not too familiar with it as its only the second time i see someone using one. Would you care to give us some details on it and how it installs/ works? It does look like a nice set up.
Not beeing too "wiring" my real "problems" in my build are all related to that part of it. Thats also why im looking at the FITech kits sometimes, then, im back to wanting to go the Holley route.... but then the (the HP) only has like 4 inputs and outputs and that seems to be the limiting factors of it... especially as a few of them already get used just to manage boost so, im interested in looking at other ways of controlling boost, but to me, it all looks like more wiring, circuits, vaccuum lines etc etc and then i just run away and get to work on something else to change my mind!! LOL!!!
But im getting there, so, ill have to decide what im gonna run and do it!!! The car is on its 4 wheels, full roller now. Brakes are done. Motor in last night with trans, rad support on. Turbo fitment going on. So its no a long way to a test firing!!
We have very similar projects and i really like following yours.
Any info you care to share i'll gladly listen to,
Keep workin at it!!

Awrsome man! Congrats on making so much progress! I too hardly have any rad support left lol.
Here is a demo for the pulse leash. The box I have is both the Boost leash, which is the boost controller, and the pulse leash which is a bump box. Combo unit. This is my first time getting this sophisticated so I can't offer much input yet haha.
Do you not plan on running an intercooler?

I hear ya, i played on mine again yesterday, i cut 2 ears on the block that were in the way from letting me run my shorty ebay headers down and forward (the new shorter ones from speed engineering) instead of UP / forward. They almost fit!! But id need to bang a tube around a steering box cap bolt and also raise the motor like half an inch, which is easily doeable with my Dirty Dingo sliders. Still playing with best scenario... The trouble (apart from its size!) is i want the turbo facing and showing in the grille nicely, im at the point i have almost no rad support left its so opened up LOL!! But all this also gives me more space to put it more forward in the grille.
