So the 127lb injectors are 60mm? I'll either have to order new injectors or buy height adaptors before I can install my hi ram.

Got a little bit more done on the truck this past weekend. Took the rear end out, ground off most of the brackets and bump stop pads. Positioned the lower shock mount, had my neighbor tack them, reinstalled the rear end to verify everything looked good, took it back out for final welding. So the axle is all welded up w/ the exception of the parking brake bracket which I wanted to relocate. I also fabbed up the upper shock mount, now I just have to get it welded to the frame. Oh and I also threw on the drag rims (thanks again fastjweb) and might order up some ET Streets this weekend. Lastly, I tore into the fuel bucket. Got the 450 installed, wired up, and just have to finish putting the bucket back together one last time.

I'll get the bucket done and post some pics. I'll also start working on the fuel line plumbing, then the last big thing will be wiring under the hood and figuring out the tune. I hope to have it back together by the end of this next weekend, but that is kind of doubtful at the pace I work at HAHAHA.

You're telling me Jason HA. I can't get anything done. Thanks 408! The shock mounts, upper and lower, were from jegs (PM me for the links if you want them). I just typed in "adjustable coil over mounts" and something like "shock mounts" found ones that each had 1/2" mounting holes and called it a day. Got some more parts in this week, and the bucket is all but done. Maybe this weekend it'll be running again. Still need to order some qa1's, however new parts might be on hold...my daily driver snapped the timing belt the other day

Well progress is progress but I'm going to stop projecting how much I'll get done because it never happens. I pretty much got the back half of the frame stripped. That waxy rubber like coating that GM coated the frame in is awful. I ended up getting almost all of it off by soaking it in diesel fuel, going over it with a wire brush, and then power washing. I probably did that process 3 times and I'm pretty much done.

My neighbor helped me out again and we got the upper shock mount crossmember welded in, now its time to order some shocks. I set my old belltechs in the mounts just to check out clearances and everything looks good.
