ECM and Fusebox Mounting
I started out playing around with a flat pattern to mount the ECM. My MSD was already in this location so I just sort of changed it around to fit the GMPP ECM. Made a few paper patterns and then one in metal. I reused the vibration isolators off the old MSD.
The fusebox mount is pretty much flat, except for a little pickup point for the round hole in the fuse box. I used the old battery tray mounting holes.
I probably wasted too much time making the little hold-down clips. I know they can be purchased already made and of course they are thicker and better quality. But it was sort of a challenge to see if I could make them.
Overall I think it came out about like I expected.
Before long I will be ripping the harness apart and planning all the wire routes. So it will be nice to have the box and ECM mounted to support that.
I just started receiving my stainless exhaust pieces and mufflers. All the oval tube and transitions are on order. Next week I will get started on the exhaust which will take probably 5-6 weeks at my pace (or more). I need to order a driveshaft this week, or I won't be able to route the tubes properly. I also need to figure out the back-purge for my TIG welder.
