just figured out that through HPtuners I can alter the firing order through the PCM. no need to swap wires anymore for the coils. HPTuners is gonna make a lot of this less of a headache.
PCM/harness will be here today around noon. at work I'm going to machine a tb plate adapter for the intake. I gotta find a fuel pump right now and also a TAC module with pedal. it's comin along, i'll post pics tomorrow of the parts and maybe the plate if I get it cut right, I'm thinkin about using 316L stainless for all the intake parts.

 

I running one of these on the 5.3 I'm putting in my dads '72

If you need a GENIII cam I have a stock LQ9 cam that I'd let go for cheap, like $40 shipped. It's in good shape. Looks like you're coming along well on this project....WE WANT PICS!!!!!

 

if I cant find one this weekend at the salvage yard i'll hit you up for that cam. I really dont have to have a complete cam though, that's why I'm tryin to talk to Gforce and other shops to see if they have some thrashed up cams or somethin.

yeah yeah yeah, i'll get some pix tonight lol. thanks for the intake stuff thunder, I gotta get a TAC module at the salvage yard too to make that ETC tb work with my harness. the harness just came in, everything looks awesome and is very clean, SMC performance (Shaun) gave me a hellofa deal on it too.

I was talkin with Zach (my buddy who helped with the buggy) last night and instead of running our half-shitty IFS setup we thought about just going 4wd and putting a dana 44 up front and getting a np241 t-case. the 4-link would look sick since the front end is so narrow, and also we'll be able to have a decent steering setup lol. the 4wd conversion will start over winter break probably once I get the LS350 done.


and hey KB thanks for the info on the pump, I gotta check for clearance under the d-shaft tunnel, if it will fit no problem I'll order tonight, not a bad deal for that powerful of a pump, 50gpm at 60psi, should keep the buggy fueled well under boost in the future

gotta goto work now since I'm outta school for the day, I'll post some pix of the new intake plate if I get to burn it.

btw, Im going out to HRP this friday, lemme know if anyone else is headin out there too

 

pcm and harness came in today, I'm gonna go out to the garage tonight and snap some pix of everything laid out. burned out the intake manifold adapter at work earlier, i wont take any pix of that until its polished

 

i've got pix now, just need to resize and post to my website. also I figured out that the ls1 coils won't work kinda with the harness I have, I might have a solution though.

 

got some truck coils/brackets/wires, working on fabbing the intake right now.

 

Good stuff!

 

yeah, since I'm not working today I'm gonna go take some pictures of a lotta stuff right now. I'll make sure they'll get up sometime today

 

wasn't able to take pictures there for a little bit since my parents decided to borrow my digital camera for their vacation without telling me

but they're back and I jus got the tb in the mail so here's a few pix. props to twobit for sellin me a very clean badass tb for a damn good deal. i gotta order the fuel rail stock still, and the new intake. once that stuff is on its way I need to go ahead and get a crank pos sensor and cam pos sensor. then it's go time for the install. will get more pix this weekend when Zach and I start working on everything
