Well fml. I came home to get the other side of the c notch put in and I just nipped the top my brake line while cutting. so before I can bolt in the notch, I need to figure out how to fix the brake line

I got the email from Mamo last night. The manifold is shipping out today. Should be here tuesday/wednesday. I will post pics of it when it comes in.

I had him paint it like the Darth Vader engine he is building. Should look pretty sick. If you guys haven't read through his thread, here it is: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...ker-ready.html

Bringing this back up. I'm finally home from school and was able to get some work done on the truck. I finished up my line lock in the rear. I used -4 teflon line and it came out pretty good. I flared the steel brake line from where it caught the end of my saw back in December. The installation was pretty strait forward. The only hang up was flaring the brake line with it still being in the truck. It was a bitch with fluid dripping in your face and down your arms. Here is the finished product.

Next thing I did was replace the stock pump with a walbro 255 and a racetronics hot wire kit. Then I finally got to hear the truck run. It has been a few months

I also bought a pillar mount for a few gauges. I have the gauges wired together and the pillar mounted on the stock one. I just need to run a power, ground, and tie in to the illumination switch. I will have those installed in the truck within the next few days with pics.

I had the AEM UEGO wideband already and liked it so I ordered another AEM with the gauge display. Then I went with a fuel pressure and nitrous pressure gauge from Autometer to match my cluster.

Sweet build man! I thought about doing the same thing with my cluster, do you have any more details on that?
