Today was a good day...…. No steps back.….LOL..... We are putting on a Holley front drive set-up...….Very well engineered kit..... But..... The hardest thing to do on a LS engine is to change the Harmonic Balancer...… Need I say any more..... Got that changed..... Installed the coils, Plug wires, passenger side exhaust, then installed the Holley system…… Waiting for the new power steering pump to show up for completion……. Here are some pic's from today

Got the shortened driveshaft back and installed...…… Took the old firewall bracket and modified it to accept the existing Brake swing pedal assy and the new Hydra-Boost assy........ I also moved the assy 1" further away from the engine...... Had to cut out some of the contoured area of the firewall to get everything to fit correctly.......so I have some sheet metal work to do but it fits perfectly and was worth the effort.......

Got the firewall patched and sealed around the Hydra-Boost...….. Got the ECM and Trans modules mounted along with the GM connect and Cruise Fuse panel...…. Waiting for more parts to show up ………. Still waiting for the Rick's Tank assy that was supposed to ship on Jan 29th.......... Time to figure out what A/C system to get that will fit this application also...….https://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...154CB17B43.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...F6A5463F97.jpg

Moving along...…. Had to make a Firewall spacer for the Hydra-Boost to get the linkage to work out with the brake pedal...…. Got the steering column mounted to the firewall also...…. waiting for some other parts to show up to finish the shift linkage...…. Decided to put the Radiator back in and see what problems were going to come up there...… Bolted it in and everything worked out, enough room for everything to fit...…… Just have to run dual fans to clear the water pump (ordered)…… Time to start on the rewire....https://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...9881DFCC27.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...AB260968F1.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...E9C52D4271.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...4E3F1DAEB9.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...27AD688751.jpg

Got the Lokar cable shifter and the Dakota Digital GSS-3000 installed today …… Just about ready to neaten up the trans tunnel opening and get the new tunnel installed.... Time to start researching out what A/C system we are going to install and then wiring...….. Moving along.....https://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...7CF56C436A.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...6EEC51C1D1.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...35207B31C8.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...59468C53A9.jpg

Went over to Frameup and Donnie gave me some mock-up A/C units to see what would fit...….. Ended up figuring it out and got everything ordered...… Got a condenser for the radiator that they had in stock …….and got it and the electric fans mounted...….. Got all the fittings and lines for the Transmission cooling system...… also started plumbing the A/C lines...….. Waiting on more parts to come in to continue...….https://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...39FCD100FB.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...531EF490E6.jpghttps://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a...A744486F13.jpg
