Lots of good stuff! I got back my electronics from getting flashed. Made quick work of reinstalling them. With those back in place, really I just needed to add some oil and filter and it can start. So I did what any reasonable person would do, and made a trip to grab a filter. https://i.imgur.com/dW...

Steam vent done, heater hoses done, and most the intercooler plumbing is completed. Interestingly enough, the steam vent hose is the same part number for the V6 since it attaches roughly in the same position as the V8, so while I was concerned that I didn't have one, it turns out that I did :lol: Mo...

Knocked out a few more bits. https://i.imgur.com/OLUgOUd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zVrwnGN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XFB2nNH.jpg I got lucky with my 2014 SS donor, the previous owner had done the rear brembo swap, so I have all 4 corners. Modified my rear backing plates, and tossed them on. I was about ...

I had one goal today, and I got it done. Installation and hookup of the linkages is very tedious and you don't have much room to work with. Would be much easier if you threw everything on without the boot, but it is the primary seal into the car so that's not going to work without it. Anyway, my mea...

Today was the day. After almost 2 months working on it, I am now very close to completion. https://i.imgur.com/GT2EB3f.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DhdvuVJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vRioCjL.jpg I got the car dropped back onto the engine and trans. Went about how I expected, no complications with the motor ...

https://i.imgur.com/yEYCWSD.jpg Slid the car around a bit and got it back up on the lift. Dropped the cradle back down off the car and onto some jack stands. https://i.imgur.com/KFc1iap.jpg Set the new engine mounts onto the cradle https://i.imgur.com/rjOKYCY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BdfJpcr.jpg Che...

LSA Pr0n!! Love it! Thanks for all the pics. More on that shifter thing, too. Shifter is the S1 Sequential TR6060 unit. It is pricey but I think it will be worth it, and will further add to the uniqueness of the car. Plus it is an even more effective anti-theft than a normal manual transmission is ...

https://i.imgur.com/gDJabVn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/d5tBoYl.jpg Got most the parts I ordered in, with the most pressing being the solid isolator. Installed it, and then was able to permanently mount the blower, and lid to the engine. My MAP and evap extensions came in as well, so I finalized the ha...

https://i.imgur.com/Xeoo5SY.jpg Got the steam vent line massaged a little bit, sneaks right under the snout now. https://i.imgur.com/t94Yq7Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Gf6q8Uk.jpg Got out my pin kit, and set it up for 2 pins. I've done just one in other cars and have yet to have one fail, but those we...

Played around with the motor some more today. https://i.imgur.com/zFY1Ee1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nguAtu8.jpg The supercharger parts I've been sitting on for a long time. My receipt for most of the parts are early 2018. I was originally going to boost my 13 Caprice that I did the manual swap on. I g...
