Finally some progress

Don W.

Stab it and steer it
After many glitches, mostly my own :roll:, finally got the motor together: Big alum is just there for the pic. :rotf: motor should be as complete as it needs to be for install tomarrow. We're taking the truck to a car wash to clean the eng compartment Sat. Actual install will start Mon. Hope to start it by the end of next week. But since my time estimates never pan out maybe the week after???

Before you ask...

Vortecs
Comp 412
.030 SRP pistons
JE Pro Seal rings
Eagles
4 bolt center mains
Balance
50# injs
9/11 2800 stall converter
Built 700r trans
Stock IC, meth
WB o2
Bat relocate

No clue what she'll do but hoping for low 12's high 11's on 20# or less. We'll see.

Looking good Donger. Cant wait to see how it runs for you. I still have a ways to go on mine so I guess it looks like you will be taking home the trophy:lol: But that's ok, next time you are up here in your Sy I'll just have to spank ya.:rotf: As far as turbo goes, I forget, didn't you say a 20g?

Yup that's the idea I just need to be sure the turbo matches the build, to some degree anyway. :tup:Still working on the learning curve. :rotf: Mine may run first but my hat's off to ya with all that rewiring. You be a brave soul.

Dude, you should see what I did last night. I set up four relays, Alky, Efan 1 Efan 2 and Trans fan. I ran wiring from a mini fuse block to the relays, then ran the switch wires through the firewall, grounds, but the wiring going to the components is all going through the frame. It looks so sweet. Was kind of a PITA to do but definitely worth it. Since all these components are all right there together, the frame rail on the driver side was really a perfect place. What is really cool is the relay housing I got. I'll have to post some pics in my thread later. Good luck on getting her running this week Don. I know it will be a great feeling.

Just incomplete, it's all black now. I may be the only SyTy'er with a crank scraper but it's in there. Pan is on, Ex manifolds are next. Details, details. Onward ho...
