and when you would be done doing it all over again u would want to do it all over again, it never stops, your truck is badass the way it is, for me its only a dream to mod my truck like yours, be happy and finish it happy new years

 

Ordered the trans today.

Rossler Terminator 3 T400 w/a couple small bells and whistles.

Bad news, I should have ordered it before the new year...He told me they are 4-6 weeks out. bummer

 

Got a few odds and ends done while I'm STILL waiting on this damn motor. Thing is taking forever...

Here is the new T400 from Rossler next to my 4l80e which is still for sale


Here is the panel I made for power distribution in the truck


And here is where it is mounted






Got the intercooler and tank coated (Rhino Bedliner) to keep the sweat down


Got most of the wiring/switches done for the lights






Took the front suspension apart, cleaned everything up and removed the "chevy lean" spacer as I think the 4-link straightened everything back out.




Trial fit for the new switch panel that will control fuel pump, intercooler pump, start button, accy power, ign power, water pump.

 

Top notch just like the rest of this build!

 

Where have you been getting the deutsch connectors from? Waytek?

 

Very clean use in the details

 

i wish my truck was that clean

 

Yea, I get about 90% of all my wiring supplies from waytek. The deutsch connectors are nice however they have three downfalls.

1. The proper crimping tool was very expensive
2. They are only rated to 20 amps per terminal
3. Once you get the retaining clip in the female end, good luck getting it out without ruining something. Make sure all your stuff is right before inserting clip.

Thanks for the kind words guys. This build is taking entirely too long.

 

Any word on when you'll have the motor?

 

I talked to the builder about 2 weeks ago and he said Greg (cylinder head guy) was waiting on some custom valves for the heads. Said the valves where supposed to be there in 8 days. That was 10 business days ago, so I assume they are there and the heads are getting put back together.

I was put under the impression that when the heads where done, he would start on it. This guy is notorious for taking forever, but builds good stuff.
