I'll be home all day on monday Randy if you need me for anything. The radiator guy and drive shaft people will probably need something from me by then!
 
It's been a nice shift so far; maybe 4 or 5 runs.
 
looking quite awesome so far. sorry i havent given ya a call yet been busy with buncha crap and tryin to move all at once. its ok tho nearly have everything. i may try and give you a shout tom / today
 
Hey Frank, What are you working on today? The thing on the firewall is a fuel pressure regulator with a built in return. You will have to have this. Any engine after 03 will need it since it has a returnless fuel system. It will maintain the 62 psi you require and gives you a return line to the tank. And yes he has alot of room for added on goodies. If you look all the wiring is inside the fender well. Have you ordered your harness yet?

I worked on mating the tranny with the engine... LoL....lots of (WTF, scratch my head, WTF).
Got my fan on Saturday and looks good.
The fuel preasure regulator yah got from Jegs AP right ?
No harness yet... I'll do that this coming week.
Thanks brah !!!
 
The new shifter

Ok here is the new shifter VS the old. We went with the B&M shifter because it looks good and it fits the scheme of things. :grinpimp: Still need to close it up and wire it in but that will be done here in a bit. How does that look for position Scott? It feels real good to me and we are about the same height. Let me know what you think

I"m Glad We Said "b And M " For The Shifter Cuz That Thing Looks Nice!!
 
Glad you like it! It does look nice in there. I will get that tied up. Then hopefully have the rad and drivelines today. Hopefully work won't kill me today. But she is pulling together nicely:grinpimp:

I will call FIS today and get the correct pin connector so I can get that squared away.
 
Progress report

OK the radiator is in after having it checked and the ports moved. The following is the clearance that I got for the fan. about 4".

One more

One more of the radiator clearance from the top side and the lower hose clearance. I use the Mr.Gasket hose because I can flex them where they need to be.

The dash wiring

Here are the wires running to the dash that need to be connected. Mainly the brake lead, Tach, and the diagnostic port. The gas pedal is out because I am finishing of the throttle. and one of the fuel pressure set up.

Last on the list is:

Drive shafts.

Sensors (awaiting arrival from AutoZone)

Tranny lines

Muffler!!

Starter is acting up now so I may get a new one on Monday. But all is looking good and I will be ready to put a hood on her by days end.:bounce::flipoff2::bounce2:
