the shifter cable rotted off the old tranny so i replaced it today



rust, cleaned it up



unclipping this thing took me forever



ran a new loom



and started the pods



got on my ss badge



removed the sierra logo



and painted the handle and chips



found out what model alarm i have DEI 5551 anyone know anything about it?

 

valet model? looks small for a viper/clifford/hornet

 

got some blue dash lights and removed the SES bulb



got pretty much all the parts together for the wiring. got pricey quickly. while i was at it i ordered a pioneer flip out deck with the bluetooth adapter. should be here soon. also doing accent lights.





the rest of my tranny stuff i needed



new SFI rated flywheel



bolted up



bent up the atf dipstick and clamp to make it work





new fuel lines in but the filter wouldnt come out. i need a brake line wrench for that.



painted up the rusty stuff



but theres no way its going in with the core support still on the truck



so we started to unbolt that but still have a couple bolts left so we quit for today

the engine should be in some time tomorrow and then the wiring and plumbing will keep me busy

my little helper

 

this morning the rest of my gauges came

d-pic (same as a g-tech)



boost closeup





popped off the bumper and core



magnaflow cats showed up



put it all together now





then i did a timelapse











slight problem with hood clearance, not too sure what ill do but its either body lift or custom hood. i think its worse than this picture makes it look like.



mufflers showed up



bolted in nice nice, had trouble getting it over the front axle but it was no problem with time



bam



did the same to the dash but no pic til tomorrow



started on the kneepanel



i hooked up a bunch of other random stuff but thats it for now

 

looks nice







need a second coat on the inside parts tomorrow

 

Get out the fine tip brush and blackout the "VORTEC" letters

 

yeah i had thought of that i may do that

 

looking good dude your making some nice progress

that is one big huka you have there two people can hit at once lol

 

I just noticed....are those two additional injectors near the inlet of the throttle body?

reminds me of the old saleen/vortech intake setups I used to see on the fox 5.0's

 

thanks guys yeah it did have the dual injectors but i removed the fuel lines to them and swapped to 60 lb injectors and totally removed the whipple computer from the equation
