Better yet make one. The fbodys are picky about with compressor works due to half the springs being under the firewall so its easy to make one that you know works. Took less than 30min and works like a charm.

Well got my motor pretty much put together. Took my heads to the machine shop, getting a 3 angle valve job and having the heads vatted along with the springs and all . Once I get them back I can go ahead and install lifters, PR's, valvetrain, valve covers, and intake. Then the motor will be complete and ready to roll. Right now im stuck with the M6 swap. Trying to figure out how to wire everything up correctly so everything will work how its supposed to. Oh well i'll prob be over there this weekend again to do some more stuff.
