Its too far from the source to pick it up, if you start tapping the block with a hammer on the right side it may see a weak signal but if it were on the right side you would see a strong signal... its a good test but with as sensitive as sensors are its way beyond what spark knock would typically cause(hammer test that is)

 

Got it on the other side and extended the harness. Ran into one snag, crank pulley must have got hit during shipping I didn't notice it until now. Swapped pulleys from my other motor but couldn't install it with no tool. Got some threaded rod today and some nuts, how is everyone tightening the nut down on the lulled with it sitting so far in? I could just get a piece of steel tubing and usee it as a spacer but last time I made one the tubing bent and messed up the threads. I had a hawk tool do the same thing as well so so I'm not wanting to do that

 

A proper tool and an adjustable wrench, or for that matter one of the crank tools for the ls engines with the spacer..

Seen it done where you just heat the balancer with a propane torch for a minute or two, then slip it on and brap the bolt down LOL. Torque specs............pffffft.

 

Torque spec on a balnacer bolt damn near requires 3/4" drive torque wrench.... and a lot of cussing and heavy breathing!!!

 

Yes I've done a few, they are a pain in the ***. I had a c5 accessory drive on my last one so the pulley wasn't as deep. Imy thinking I'll have to make a tool again like the hawk tool

 

Well motor and Trans are finally in, waiting on my adaptor shaft from time2kill then it can go together so I an mock up the driveshafts. I stripped the wiring harness and re-taped it and I'll redo the wire loom as well. Few weeks should be done in hope.

 

Ran my transmission lines and wrapped my headers. Have one left to do but let me know what you guys think. Only way I could really wrap them since they touch in spots. Used one of the same clamps I used on the frame and mounted it to the starter bolt. Worked well to keep he Iines away from the header.

 

Anyone who has done a 4l80e swap mind checking this write up to see if it will work? They are similar to way I found here, but a little different. It's the one i used so just want to be sure
