Put the starter in and wired it up. Bought some NGK TR55 spark plugs and while putting the passenger side header in also put those in. Painted the coil brackets gloss black and finished running the trans cooler lines to the trans. Started finishing my fuel lines to the fuel rail but need just 1 more 90° fitting to complete it :? . I forgot to bolt the flexplate to the torque converter while I had the starter out, so I'm thinking unless I can get the bolts in through the rear main inspection hole, the header and starter progress was a wash today. :(

That's probably what they come with but they are pretty popular with the LS1 crowd

Let's see....had about 8 Coronas in the garage, got pissed off about mysteriously missing tools that I needed, took off the old 605 steering box, prepped for tomorrow's pressure wash of the frame before the KBS coating begins. Got my Prothane body mounts and energy suspension ctrl arm bushings today too. :mrgreen:
