Today was transmission day.


3.29 gears and single chain.


Got it all closed up again.


Got the engine and trans all bolted back up.






Just a couple odds and ends and it will be finished. Then a few things to finish on the car and drop it in.

I pray that is not a Non-HD tranny? That turbo would eat that trans for breakfast.

Either its still on your list of things to do, or you are deleting the EGR?

EGR still needs to be capped.

Yes, a HD trans. Has a hardened input shaft and I just installed a 7/8 chain with the 3.29 gears. Oh ya, and steel channel plate gaskets. Not going to blow those out.

Finished up the engine and trans today.

60# injectors.


Everything installed.








Need to install this tomorrow.


Got the exhaust ready to go. Toss in the steering rack and wheel hubs tomorrow. Then next week when I have off again, the engine gets dropped in.

Those are some tall injectors, or is it my eyesight? Thats not the stock fuel rail either. Should have made a LV3 insert and ripped out those intake runners. I made one a couple months ago, it made a difference I tell ya.

Stock hight on the injectors, just much thinner then stock. And stock fuel rail. I questioned him about the intake. He'* going to stick with it for now, but may upgrade later on.
