Then this a**hole left these 2 big black marks in the driveway, no pictures or videos were taken to protect this "a**holes" identity. Hehe. Even my dad smiled, and he hated this whole project.

LMFAO!!! That's the 11'' converter for you.

Sweet man! I would of never figured out that wire issue props to you.

Thanks guys! Anything else that would pertain to an ls1 car you found B?

Mike! Very happy with the trans, it drove good on 4, so im guessing it will be great on 8! Ill be calling you in the morning.

Messed with the car today, and its leaking out of the petcock valve, I replaced the plug, should I put some sealer on it or just crank it tighter?

Cant wait for the first real drive tomorrow!

Nothing for LS1, unfortunately. Shbox.com is all for LT1 I believe.

Glad you got it figured out! And the exhaust sounds great.. much throatier than it did on my car. Last time I heard it was 3 years ago tho haha.

Now come help me get my car running again hahaha

I can't wait to see this car on Friday.

Please take it down the dragstrip so we can all see what the lack of 20 odd cubic inches does to ET.

Dont worry, it will happen, got to figure I have bolt ons though, not much help but headers and a converter should help me gain a few tenths.

[Gottork]

just read all 35 pages, WOW nice build..

I have one question for you, did you end up just using rustoleum rattle cans for the engine bay?

[sman]

Actually ended up using duplicolor automotive spray paint and clear that supposedly matched the exterior and color code but after it dried it doesnt match very well, looks good in pictures though. I will be redoing it again this next winter with actual car paint and a gun.

Car looked sweet man. Didn't get to hear it run though. Remind me, did you put a cam in it? Or were you going to do that over the winter? BTW I was the one in the purple Firebird at Red Robin. I wanted to stop and talk but I had ate waaaaay too much
