[QUOTE="95mmRenegade, post: 6021009, member: 67093"] I'm not really feelin the wastegate placement but its the only way to mount them. [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0373.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0374.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0375.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0376.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0377.JPG[/img] Finished up the driver header last night, had to move the #7 runner for the 3rd time to clear the steering shaft, its got .250" clearance now. Also finished up the driver side control arm and started working on the steering. Shortened up the quick release for the steering wheel and tack'd that into place. The toe adjuster has got different threads than my steering rack and with the tap costing $40, I'll probably just cut off 5" and weld the correct grade 8 extension with the correct threads. I'm trying to have all of the steering/front suspension done this weekend. Today was a pretty slow day. I got a few things knocked out today.. 1) Finished up steering rack, had to cut off the ends and weld on the correct ones - steering is Done except for alignment 2) Finished fabrication on transmission mount. Changed it a couple times and ended up with two bolts on both sides 3) Fabricated a simple mount for the shifter 4) Machined spacers for fuel rail, fuel rail is DONE 5) Had to machine manifold to clear the ETP heads, manifold is DONE 6) Picked up all of the bolts today for the misc shit, IAC manifold, trans mount, seats, radiator mounts(not done) 7) Started working on the travel limiters and the brace for the front control arms. My to-do list is getting very very short. :) I still need to pick up my powerglide and order my Neal Chance converter which I'll probably do tomorrow. Shifter trimmed and mounted [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0385.JPG[/img] Transmission mount - used two bolts on both sides to tie the frame together [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0386.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.gvr4.com/phil97svt/IMG_0387.JPG[/img] Monday progress: This morning we worked on the water pump location for the intercooler system and got that nailed down, I'll fabricate the brackets either tomorrow or thursday. I ran all of the wiring for the BS3 and found a couple of nice locations for the ECU, the engine harness is awesome and fits like a glove. We also found a nice spot for the AMS1000 boost controller directly under where the factory radio would sit and infront of the shifter. I cut out the mounting panel for the Racepak dash, still need to cut out the spacers for the dash mount. The front travel limiters are done with the exception of welding the lower mounts onto the control arms which I'll setup for thursday. I also found a nice place for the fuel pressure regulator, it was somewhat tough due to the size but it fits nicely behind the brake master. Parts: - 5 - 1 7/8" u bends are here for the final wastegate plumbing, the exhaust will be sent out to get coated next week. - Ordered a Neal Chance converter with a couple of stators for drag radials and slicks - Thursday afternoon we're going to pick up a pretty big donation... Local business donated a Wayne Rogers/Deadenbear/Coan Powerglide built with every possible upgrade. Working: We need to look at the water pump situtation, either I need to have the factory one milled or switch to a remote style. - Are two -12 lines sufficient for the LS1? Tuesday progress: - Got the plate to mount the racepack in the dash almost done, I need to transfer it over to a fresh piece of aluminum - Both seat mounts are done - Driver side harness mounts are done - U-bends arrived today so I'll finish up the wastegate mounts thursday - Had header tubes flared @ main flange will finish welding thursday Only did an hour of welding today. Got the headers 100% done and the control arms basically done. I'm not sure if I am going to add a piece of plate between the control arm legs or not, any input is welcome there.
