Stay strong... you've come this far...

 

Good to hear your still with us! I know the feeling, I am a marine electrician so I have no shop. I'm a concrete mechanic myself. Lol

 

A few teasers. Got my 40K trans cooler and decent size heat exchanger back. Had a buddy cut the brackets off the HX and flip them since the Maggie kit has all the cooler line on the driver side and all my crap is on passenger. instead of spending $50 on a lover trans bracket, I just notched the OE piece and flipped it around. 5 minutes with a cut off whel. Got it all mounted, fabbed up and looking decent.... then tried to put the grill on. Safe to say... we're gonna have to trim a wee bit

 

Can’t wait to see this done, I’ve been trying to decide on my f.i for my rcsb

 

How's it going?

 

Going decent. Made a little progress over the past few weeks. Just having to eat the elephant one bite at a time.
Recently finished:
1-trans cooler lines made and run
2-center console shifter cable run and adjusted, NSS and trans plugs installed,
3-Realized the harness and the O2 sensors have the same plug so ordering a connector kit from ICT.

Still need:
Driveshaft yoke for 4L80 swap (temporarily using the stock shaft until I get it lowered and can properly measure for the custom one)
Trans dipstick for 4L80 swap
Boost gauge line
Measure for correct belt length with the LSSimple brackets

 

Did you hook up the barometric pressure sensor? If so how?

 

The trans dipstick is the same for the 60e and 80e, only the dipstick tube is different.

 

That's where I was getting confused. Keep seeing all kinds of misinformation. Do you happen to have the tube part #? And any tips on getting it in there with the trans already in place?

 

Well it's been a whle since anything got updated, as I've been working a lot and trying to save for a house again. Market is trash so, back to finishing the truck! Ended up with a Lokar dipstick and got the trans mostly filled. Finished up some wiring under the hood and realized a couple of mistakes i made, so those got fixed. Got Caltracs and hangers for the rear suspension waiting in the wings. Parts are slowly moving from the rack to the engine bay and interior. Bout to build an intake tube and order a new battery. Biggest thing right now is droppin/flushing the tank, checking the pump to see if it's still good or replace it and run the racewire harness. After that she should be ready to fire!
