I feel like it's an on-going project with no end in sight. My engine gets pulled Monday morning and taken to the machine shop. In a few weeks/months it should be ready and after my pockets heal...I guess I'll start on the cosmetics....paint, interior, etc.

I know how you feel. I want to take my engine out and put a carb engine in, can't get mine to fire anymore. I have change optispark, coil and icm. About to change ecm now to see if that's the problem.

How's it coming, any luck getting it fired up?
I am very familiar with lt1's. been running lt1/4l60e for a few years now in mine.

Sorry for the late respond. It was the spot on the fuse box that I had it plugged into, once i turn the switch it looses power in that spot. I just have a problem with the RPM going from 800 to 2000 and then back down. The program I have says its set at 2000 rpm.

I lifted the front up 1-2 inches last night, also thinking about taking the 2 inch drop springs off the back.

Nope, car is still driving me crazy. I no clue what I did wrong for karma to treat me like this....lol.....I drove it after fixing the no spark issues and then the TC splines broke, as I did not know I needed spacer between the TC and flex plate. Got the trans all fixed, then took it for another test drive and something else happen. Fixing that problem now and should be able to test it again once it stop raining. If it wasn’t for Crucial118, the car would have been on fire months ago
