I love this car. I really do. The attention to detail is mind boggling and the packing is well, Jedi level. Great work Cris

I have not had much to update on this project but here are some progress pics...

I have never been a big fan wiring but when first introduced to LS conversions it scared me cause of all the wiring & not familiar with the technology.. Now it seems like a breeze to me.. I took it upon myself to open up all the engine harness & clean it up & loom it with nylon braid for a cleaner look.. learned allot.. next time will even be easier.. Hell !! I even made this cart so that I don't have to be working with engine & trans off a pallet.. Of course this cart has other purposes.. LS Engine Fire- Stand... I will finish it in a couple of weeks when I need to fire up a engine..

Plumbing rear-end, Install sway bar, welding ground bungs.. & just a bunch of details that needed to be wrapped up while the engine was out.. I will have more progress next week with prototype goodies!!!

A/C brackets
 
Ok.. One more update..

For LS conversions I have always been & big fan of the Corvette Accy drive system.. instead of trying to fight with fitting it low.. It will mount on the pass side cylinder head.. Plus using a Saden 7 A/C compressor.. & will have and adjustable belt tensioner instead of a spring tensioner...

Will this work with the truck Accy drive system?

From my understanding a trk drive system has the same distance as a 2010 Camaro.. I have been able to make some spacers to make the Corvette drive system work on a 2010 Camaro.. I have seen Pace Performace offer the 2010 Camaro drive system.. but you still need to buy a water pump.. Trk is different..
