Here we are with the test fit going on for the front accessories.

I'm waiting to put the lower pulley back on after I pull the motor back out and install the modified pan.

I have two current issues.

1. Looking for the right adpater fitting to come out of the power steering pump and connect to a -8 female high pressure line. The stock pump has a cool Aeroquip factory quick disconnect, but it hits the frame. I pulled it and found it appears to be a metric - about 16mm wide male fitting needed that is not a taper fit - has an o-ring at the top. That needs to be mated to a -8AN male tip to do the trick. Have a plug from an LS engine and steel fitting that I might be able to weld together...

2. VSS from the Ricmond 6 (like an old Muncie). The stock LS has a 40 tooth reluctor wheel and generates about 128K pulse a mile. The highest aftermarket off the shelf sender I can find is 8K - so about 40K a mile. Checking with the programmer now to see if he can manipulate the tables, or if I have to find a way to put a new reluctor in the trans.
