steering column complete.

stainless manifold fits perfect and clears the steering linkage

now that i know what space is available i can add bracing to the motor mounts

erik had a truck load of planks he sent me earlier in this week something from his land lord that was re decking a trailer.  cheap to free not sure if they are available still might be worth a txt to him 


this time of year will be hard to get a small mill to cut logs

Keith might have something down that could be milled on his mill, too.

Core support mounts fabricated.  Inner fenders trimmed to clear new suspension.

Radiator and fan next.

Will soon be time to pull engine and tranny and get them cleaned up, start bolting on new parts.

looks like you have a ton of room.  i use the black sewer rubber elbows that depot/lowes carries, 9$ with two clamps between TB and MAF, then another 90 or coupling to air filter (vans have round filters)

ls is 1.5 on bottom and 1.25 on top.    Dayco flex hoses from summit (9-15$ each) are now cloth wrapped and look super awesome in an old truck install.

FYI htr hose outlets are correct hole size to tap for 3/8" and 1/2" NPT after pulling out the barbs if you want to delete or run a temp probe or switch to AN / whatever

john in shortsville can burn any PCM for free to him now if you dont care about the VIN in the PCM.  i bring him a 12pack and he did 4 for me last time. 

i can show you in 10 min how to mod stock harness if you dont want to make a carrier out of understanding GM harness also.

ya someone made an android app that hacks in and allows him to change the VIN on ANY PCM, and use his 99 batch license.
