ok, not much as far as pics, but things are progressing. After the hidden config issue inb the BigStuff 3 that Mr. Meaney helped me solve, I then ran into an issue with the map sensor not reading correctly. I'd show 15" of vacuum and the computer showed 3-4", so the tuning was screwed up. I bought a new 2-bar map sensor and installed it, same thing. So I started thinking there was something in the computer.

Again, John to the rescue. He confirmed that I did not have the correct map sensor. I went to the dealer and bought a third one from a part number from John, everythings perfect. What's the odds of getting two incorrect sensors in a row? Don't know, but Malitude is living up to it's reputation................ :rofl:

Here's proof it's running, notice the nice gold color the headers are now. I'll be able to drive it once my new SC&C uca's arrive; needed them as I can't get enough camber with the Hotchkis arms because of the proximity of the downpipe to the control arms.

Solved another issue. I thought the dipstick was going to be a major pita, as there is no hole in the pan for it, and the hole in the block has been tapped and threaded. I ordered a Lokar ED-5008 LS1 flexible dipstick tube, and with some creative tweaking to the support bracket it works great. The o-ring still fit snug in the hole, and I added a bit of clear silicone just in case. I love the Lokar engine and trans dipsticks as they allow you to move them where they fit for you.

Front and rear glass goes in tomorrow, I'm going to wire up the speakers for the stereo, and plumb the a/c.

up late huh

pics look great as alway's

Nice work Jody!!

Man I love SS headers once warmed up...can't wait for mine to change color!!

The windshields will really make the car look finished!! :thumbsup:

Man you must be excited! Just wondering....it looks like you are missing the nut on the oil pan stud?

yes it is. That's part of the coil bracket mount, uses two of the oil pan studs. Had to remove them to fit the dipstick tube.

damn jody 44pages and still more to come!!! :thumbsup:

Ahh yes. BTW those coil brackets are cool....I may borrow your idea as I don't think I am gonna have room either for behind the head mounting.

what size intercooler tubing are you running?
