Jeepers! And I thought I was motivated today installing the new bumper on my Suburban out in the driveway. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

If you're in New Jersy -- the weather is not norm to working out in the drive bolting stuff on your truck ... enjoy the change!! TAZ

In retrospect..........I can't even imagine trying to get all the electrical power required for this conversion thru the stock fuse panel.....Thanks to Donny Bock at AAW for pushing me into the rewire....In the mean time I have a good portion of all the wires run ......the mass of wires in earlier pictures are now in place and just need to be zip tied in place after getting the Dakota Digital modules wired and in place........I also have the new A/C unit installed under the dash and everything wired......the Supercharger snout should be coming back from Lingenfelter next week and the new front drive should be showing up also.....I also did some checking on Transmission dimensions and it looks like I have to move the trans mount back 3 1/2&quot; on the frame from where the 700R4 was........Time to move the car's around and get the 57 up on the lift ........

That brake pedal looks lonely... Crash

Ken. Now that Crash brought it up: Does GM sell this engine kit with a 6 speed?

I really like being &quot;involved&quot; with the car.

A little update......Still waiting for the new Front Drive to show up,...The Supercharger snout is still at Lingenfelter Performance for mod's....and the stock dash gauge housing was sent out for stripping to get the chrome off and ready for paint.....that will be painted and ready for final assy in the Dash next week ....so.....After finishing up the basic wiring under the dash.......the next big wiring issue is getting the Dakota Digital modules in and wired........there are three modules....the main VHX module......the Fan Control module.........and the GPS Speedometer module........Got everything hooked up and decided to take the Speedometer module out of the box and plug it in........ The Voltmeter guy does it again....Got Lucky (so Far) as the basic functions even work........LOL
