yea i was just going though some stuff and came across that also. I don't think that will apply to me though because I'm not running that block. I'm basically running the brakes as 2 separate systems off the master. The prop valve only controls flow to the rear brakes.

I got ya. Was just looking out if you had a prop valve like mine.

So I took V8 Rumbles advice and took the front 2 body mounts out and cut them down. I was able to get the fenders on the car and lines up the best I could with out a million washers under the rad cradle!!! Thanks again for the tip! (not sure why I didn't take any pictures with the fenders on) Also finished up the brakes on the car.

Was able to get the PCM and the extra fuse panel mounted


Hopefully this week I will be focusing on the cars wiring, I really want to cut the factory harness down to bare bones since most of the original functions have been eliminated. I also hope I can get started on the intercooler piping for the turbo.

I'm glad the body thing worked out for you.

My friend got his harness from here. He told him what he had and configured a harness fir his nova.

Not a huge update, I trimmed up the factory dash harness (cut out most of the old ecm crap, ran some wire for new heater and such) Got some more of the actual ls harness trimmed up also. Hoping to have the rest of the body harness wired up and powered up and tested by the end of the week and most of the intercooler piping done mocked up by the weekend.

I have to admit that wiring is intimidating for me. Looks like you're making good progress. How long do you think before it's road ready?

I'm being very optimistic and telling myself this fall, but I'm really really hoping to get it out next spring at the latest. I still have a ton of work to do and many parts to acquire.

So I took a break from the wiring stuff and did some work on my cold side, still amazed at how little room I have to work with despite the size of the car lol



I wish I had more room to come further out of the throttle body with the intercooler piping, but it is what it is.
