Hello all!
It's been about a year since I've posted anything here. I'm finally back to working on my Bonneville wagon. Since my last update, my thread died, so I have to start a new one...which is ok. Since my last post, I bought an 86 GP w/T-tops and my wife and I had twin boys (oops and double oops)!
I"ll get some pics up "soon."
Where I'm at today with the wagon...
I'll have more on this later...with pics, of course. Time to get back to work!

Where I'm at today with the wagon...
- 5.3L LS from a 107k mile GMC Sierra installed using Holley LS Swap Kit
- (re)built 4L60E from parts unknown installed using Holley LS Swap Kit
- hydraboost from a 1500HD
- 8.5" GN rear
- drive shaft is getting shortened and balanced as I type
- trying to use the stock tank, sender, but a Walbro 255 pump.
- using the stock radiator and stock AC condenser, but have a Sanden pump. I'll have to fab the AC lines. Looks like with a little trimming the 2003 Sierra upper/lower radiator hoses will fit.
- Trying to find a lower mount for the AC condenser...this is stopping me from getting my radiator in.
- Finding a new fuel sending unit...I guess wagons are special. I think my old one works, but I haven't tested it.
- Gauges...I'm just not ready to get the gauges I want, yet. I want SpeedHut gauges, but they are pricey...but very cool. I've got a Painless 60650 box coming and I hope that it will take the data from the OBDII and I can make my stock Oil, Temp, and Volt gauges all work properly. If that works, I could get away with a new Speedo andTach. I'd like to add a trans temp gauge as well.
- Tuning...but I have a source and plan for that!
I'll have more on this later...with pics, of course. Time to get back to work!
