Smans 5.3 build up!

If this isnt done by then there may be a mysterious fire, and it just may result in a "total loss"

NO!

Bad!!!

[sman]

If you only knew how frustrating the last 3 or 4 weeks have been with this damn thing. I hate waiting for parts when I have NO idea when or IF ill ever even get them.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Just order some LS6 wires off gmpartsdirect mine cost like $60 and work great.

[sman]

Cant run ls car wires, the truck coil packs are mounted higher on the valve covers therefore require a longer wire.

dont give up spence!! i really want to see this car when its done!

[sman]

Well I actually made some progress today!

Picked up my pacesetters and y pipe! While I was there jason was VERY generous and gave me the last ac line I needed, also threw in 2 o2 sensors and plug wires that I think will work perfectly!

I was told the trans will be done so I can put it in the car this weekend, so we'll see. If i get the trans tomorrow, ill be looking to fire it for the fist time sunday afternoon.

Game on B!

Common Spencer! I can't wait to see this thing in action and see what kind of numbers it puts down!

[sman]

Its killing me! I atleast want the motor and trans in the car before the sun goes down on sunday. I can tidy up all the loose ends monday if i have to. Then get the car to phil to finish the tune so I can really see what it does!

You will be happy with the Tune Phil gives you. He's a great tuner.

And when you get it done we better have videos!!

Time for a cruise out to Lapeer

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Sweet, how did you get the k-member bolt out? Can't wait til its done I'm gonna drive to Phil's house and take some video

[sman]

Finished the k member bolt issue today. When oxygen and acetylene mix, we get shit done! We actually didnt really harm the nut at all, we just ran a tap through it when we were finished. Im out in the garage now, just thought Id update. Im still waiting on a transmition and torque converter (hint hint), no pressure mike. No really, mike ridings has been very good so far, im just giving him some crap, haha.

The guy I got my headers from was way nice, he hooked me up with some front o2 sensors, plug wires, and the cruse control box FOR FREE! Thanks again jason. Ill update later, I think its time for lunch...

[meissen]

Alright Spence, you definitely won this race. No way will I have the car running by Monday. Congrats on taking care of that k-member bolt. I had a real pain today with one of the rear LCA's. The driver's side came out real easy but not so much on the passenger side. Anyway, congrats on getting it closer - I know how you're feeling right now! BETTER TAKE VIDEO OF THE FIRST START UP!

[sman]

I was shooting for running tomorrow night, but I just got word that I probably wont have a tranny until then. However, I did get the headers on, plugs gapped and in, wires on, and im realitively sure Im all set to put the whole thing in when I get my trans.
