Just got some pics today, crappy droid pics lol finally making progress on my build after a year of hitting the wall. I got the engine installed, transmission and pedals. surprisingly enough my drive shaft from the 700r4 I had looks like its going to fit without issue, I'm unsure of my trans install I couldn't get it to slide all the way in it was back like an inch or so, so I got the bolts started and begin the slow process of going around the bell housing and tightening till it was mated. Also I noticed the bell doesn't use all the bolt holes. I need a smaller pulley for the power steering as mine isn't clearing the P/S gear box, and I have to hook up the fuel lines and electrical which I got a harness from Swanke performance. I bought a silverado radiator :banghead: far to big to fit so I'm trying to decide which radiator to get I'm thinking F body but the space I have to fill is like 34x18 or something like that. and I still need to figure out belt size for the pulleys, the rest is history suspension upgrades interior, etc. I'm going with ride tech coil overs etc. etc. posi-traction etc. its been a PITA doing this project being in the Army living in Barracks and using the Base Auto Hobby to do my build with the time constraints, all while trying to open my own speed shop....more to come
