I was a little apprehensive about swapping in a modern engine/computer. Especially one that i did all the wiring myself. However; after doing it, I don't think I'll put a carburetor on anything ever again. Now that I've done it once, I can't wait to swap an LS engine into something else!
Of course, it helped that I had sent the PCM off to someone that knew what they were doing to program it before hand.

I will never work on a motor with a carb again. After doing a few ls swaps with factory GM stuff and building a volvo on Megasquirt I am totally sold on late model motors in early sheetmetal. It is what I love to do. Old looks with new operation and performance.

I ordered up all of my exhaust yesterday and should have everything to build that this weekend.
Hopefully get the tranny pan all fixed up and sealed up and back on the truck.
Chris at Circle D wants me to double check the flexplate to converter gap and make sure its between .125 and .150, I think its more than that and might need some spacers in there.
So it will probably be at least another week until I get to see if it will move under its own power.
Thanks for the compliments and I am super excited that it all works, still pretty stoked just that everything I did worked
