I went ahead and installed a new steering gear and all new Moog steering links, idler, and tie rods. While I was there I replaced the brake booster, brake MC and since I'm going with rear discs I installed a new disc/disc brake prop valve. New stainless lines between the MC and prop valve...

Dude thank you! I spent way too much time trying to figure out what the hell these wires did. I did some more googling and found this thread on export model F-bodies with the same ECM-less TCC setup. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/transmissions-drivetrain/515726-export-tcc-lockup-tourqe.html...

Thanks. Will do! The underside has since been painted black but its all original aside from the trunk section I mentioned. The floorboards on the inside are all factory GM as well.

With the car back home I decided to start by tackling the "ECM" harness. First thing I did was remove the A/C box and get that out of the way. Now I put ECM in quotes because much to my surprise my car has no ECM in the passenger kick panel. This is the ECM harness grommet on my car with only...

Well, I'm planning on swapping a turbo 4.8L and 4L80e into my cutlass. The turbo kit I have was originally intended for my 2013 GMC sierra daily (Trick Performance Stage 3 kit) but I changed my plans and gonna use it in my cutty instead. The turbo manifold places the turbo quite high so one of...

Just came in here to say thanks for all the reference pics showing clearances around the engine and what not. That info is invaluable! I do have a few questions if I may. Did you have to modify the firewall in any way to clear the engine and trans? (specifically at the protruding pinch weld...
