FTI arrived today. 6 days from ordering from Jegs and drop shipped from FTI. Jegs lists my TC as 2800 to 3000 but the packing slip shows 3000. I called FTI to make sure I got the correct stall (2800) and the tech said it is advertised as 2800/3000 and I wouldn't notice a difference. If I'm not satisfied I get a free reflash.

If you would've ordered direct from them they usually include some swag.

Hi FastCriag, I'm building a Cutlass very similar to your build. 6.0 with a 4l80e with FTI 3200 stall converter. The only difference is that I'm going single turbo. I'm in the same phase of as you as well. Cleaning and painting the engine bay. The motor is pretty much built just need to order intake, injector, and ict billet coil brackets. I'm trying to wait for the Texas Speed cast intake to come out. Probably run the stock one until it does.

My question for you are you going to try and reuse your transmission cross-member or are you going to buy a new one? I have the exact one as you and planning on trying to make that one work.

I had a Jegs TH350 cross member that I sold. I purchased the Holley LS swap kit with their cross member. Don't have it out of the box yet.

The rear differential was leaking so I pulled the cover off. No gunk or slime. No metal shavings. The only thing was a weird, unpleasant odor. Is that typical? The cover had some dings along the bottom edge so I have a replacement I'll use. I'm going to replace the front seal while I'm at it because it is seeping a little.
