decided while there to replace the seeping p/s lines so i popped over to autozone to get them then gave me lines that 1 was right 1 was wrong and the did not list this u shaped pipe either so i have em look it up for a grand national and surprise the other line was the one i needed and it listed my u shaped pipe as well. not changing the gearbox but i may at some point.

well, the drive train is installed, all thats left is every bit of wiring for the fuel injection, removing the parts of the engine harness that are no longer needed plumb the whole fuel system plumb the trans coolers both of those are getting don in -an lines and braided stainless. mishimoto radiator flex a lite fan, conti elite hoses, heater core and control valve and evans lifetime waterless coolant.

It's said the 3rd Gen Camaro A/C hose assembly works well along with a 3rd Gen Camaro condenser. Some say they shorten the hoses. I'm going to use a 307 Cutlass A/C hose assembly. Should fit like stock. I have a Cutlass condenser, which moves the inlet/outlet to the passenger side like the Camaro one does. The only 'down side' to the Olds hose assembly is that it includes the muffler, which takes a little extra real estate and may not have the look you are going for (not my car).....

I didn't realize you're not too far from me. Im about 20-30 minutes south of Sandusky in Bellevue. If you have any questions on the FiTech setup feel free to message me. Im not sure if I said it in a comment before but I have the 800hp MeanStreet kit on my 496.
 
so while we have been trying to figure out how to do the fuel lines and trans cooler lines, summit sent me a email 10 percent off all aeroquip fittings and line, problem solved. we retrofitted the system to run new refrigerant so i can recharge at autozone if need be as the nature of this build is simplicity for road trips sake, brakes, fuel lines cooling system it needs to all be serviceable in small town america.

now all that's left is the fluid lines, hang the exhaust that is fighting us every inch of the way and redo all the wiring associated with running the motor, run my fi controller into the car, install my digi-tails tail lights.
