Never forget to color match your intake tube pipes.

Measured for a driveshaft just now, anyone see any glaring errors?

Slip yolk is just under 1" from bottomed in the trans (3/4" to 1" is recommended for the 4l80e)

I measured from center of u joint to center of u joint as per the pics and ended up with 54 13/16"

Stacked some crap in the bed to simulate ride height with the wood floor and junk in there.

Ended up adding a 1/4" to the driveshaft measurement because I realized the flange of the rear yolk isn't center of u joint. Mike'd it and got 1/4".

Also, things with clear coat gooped on em.

Also also, pictures of spaghetti. My buddy Rob came by again today and we, mostly he, got the wiring harness roughed in and figured out what it needed to work..

He had to swap a couple connectors from the old harness in and the new harness was missing a second speed sensor plug for the 4l80 so he grabbed that too. I ordered injector plug adaptors and an X Link 6 to 8 pin conversion connector from Torque Rush Performance so the bigger tb can talk to the computer.

He said a bunch of other stuff but I got brain overload so its a mystery. I do remember he said he can get it working and that he conveniently has the exact same setup down to the injectors on his joop cj. It has a bit less rowdy cam but its a starting point for a tune so thats cool.

It is for sure.

I’m still upset there isn’t a big phat S480 hanging out next to it.

Think of the colors on the compressor housing.

In all reality I do enjoy the time you put into the paint projects. Quite frankly I’m jealous.

I'm broke enough without adding boost lol.

Chopped the overloads to make room for the Caltraks. I can take all the jumps now!

I was too lazy to take the wheels off so now the garage smells like grinding dust and burnt wood lol.

The fuel injector adaptors came in yesterday, shouldn't be too bad to hide the extra length. Bulkhead grommet fits and fuel pump got wired.

Decided to add oil before starting this one lol. Still a bunch of wiring left so that won't be for a bit.
