Does that thing have fusible links? Might want to give them a look.

yes it does but they are good !

some updates :

installed the nightmare of a a/c delete box, got the trunk open, no rust all good, and cleaned the old paint/undercoating off of the frame to get ready to paint it tomorrow with chassis saver paint

painted the frame today:

well this was my current situation lol

im waiting on my heads to be finished, once they come in measuring for push rods and finishing putting the motor together.

just got a shadow box I am going to run auto meter gauges

3-3/8 GPS speedo, 2-1/16 (s) fuel , oil pressure , water temp, A/F ratio

I have 3 sets of brand new push rods 7.500 7.525 7.550 and used 7.4s if you need them. All trickflow

there gonna either need 7.4s or 7.350s

took some time today to do my trunion kit

quick update :

when it warmed up the other day I was able to put new fuel tank and sender in, started running new fuel line, I need to install the pump, filters and regulator

waiting on the heads still there is a chance I am getting them tomorrow

decided on doing the cragar 8 black steel rims found a few pics and the car looks sick as hell with that setup.

Who is doing the heads? Seems like you've been waiting on them forever

Tony @ Xtreme CFM...there done as far as I know we have conflicting schedules he's supposed to drop them off to me tomorrow.

He hand ports them and was rebuilding them and everything... Its only been about a month but with all the holidays and **** its much less...

Maybe he had more important stuff to get done first not sure but I wasn't in a rush initially then everything else progressed much faster than I expected

and the heads are in my possession and one is installed already !

the snow really fdk me up so thats why...

made some more progress today...

spark plugs going in tomorrow... pulling the accessory drive off the other LSX motor we have and swapping it on mine.

as far ass the car itself, need to change the steering shaft to the jeep one and finish running the fuel lines and pump and regulator and the motor can go in and be fired up !

When do the turbo parts come in.....?

got the accessory drive on today ! its gettin close...

NA BABY ! lol the heads are milled down a decent amount so the compression is way up there a turbo would blow this thing to pieces lol

heres some pics of the LS going in tonight

couple more

Nice to see you moving on this again! You decide what you're doing exhaust-wise yet?

1-7/8 TSP Long Tube F-body headers which should fit very well supposedly...

then we have a hydraulic exhaust bender at the shop so going to make something but plan to try out dual black widow widowmaker mufflers to a dump pre axle

What trans crossmember will you be running? I know running true duals or at least LT headers gets tricky without a double hump crossmember.

I got a double hump from JEGS (I believe) and put it in last night didnt fit right so modified it a little n its all good now.

ah ok, nice. Fitting headers was the biggest annoyance back when i built a 87 monte ss with a 350tpi/T5 manual setup, that and rust repair. After that car, I grew to dislike g-bodies, with a small tolerance for Grand nats and t types of course.

I can see how that can be bad... but now tons of aftermarket stuff that people have used/tested so u know if its good or not.

When doing a project like this the stuff that bothers me the most is finding stuff like :
-trans line fittings
-running wires
-finding coolant hoses and such that fit...

but i got a pretty good idea from the forums of stuff that fits and dont
