tech session before gsmtr??

[FloridaCruiser813]

Alright. Some of you know my original motor had a horrible knock after ingesting some h2o. I was going to rebuild it until I heard TRD superchargers are all gone. So I opted for a gm ls swap. I have marks 4wd adapter kit with engine mounts and tranfercase adapter. I recently moved and have no tools and no place to work so I've been storing and working on my truck at a friends house. He broke his back recently and is unavailable indefinitely. I can tow the truck and parts someplace if Anyone is willing to do a tech sessionsession day. I am only available this weekend and alternating weekends... Please let me know...

I'm down with a tech session, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to swing this weekend.

That leaves you with the weekend of April 18th, and I'll be out of town that weekend and the following week.

Do you have the wiring harness yet? How much is done so far?

Ls in an 80 would be freakin sweet! If you bring it by the house I'd be happy to throw some welding wire and solder at it. That would be in SW CO...

It is drive by wire throttle body and the corvette gas pedal is ready. Maf is included in the custom wiring harness

I've been chipping at away at this project. Y pipe and first cat are off. Both drive shafts are off. AC condesor, radiator, transmission cooler and radiator support bracket are all off. power steering is disconnected. A lot of the oem wiring harness is disconnected. Battery and tray are out. Fan and clutch are off. Captured the freon and AC compressor is unhooked. Washer resivour is out. And I'm sure more I'm missing
