IT is bolt on but you gotta find the parts.
Got the new motor in. zz502 cam sounds nasty
Awaiting my clutch to come back from mcleod 2500 miles and it was worn out.
Come to find out the msd ls1 box I am using is very finnicky with crank sensor readings and starting. It only gave me an issue once with the old motor. Now it seems like with new motor it is more. So after i get the trans back in going to see if it continues to act up. I need to upgrade my megasquirt so i can eliminate the msd box all together.

Hard to hear the cam because the truck is so loud.

Well between not getting what i asked for and the hokey *** way they set up the speedo that didnt work. I paid 4500 dollars for. Now i got to pay another trans shop to buy more parts to get what i intially expected to get from the get go. According to tick I am the only person ever unhappy with them.
