And she's home! Made it all the way around the block lol. Messed around with the holley dash a bit and set up what I want on it. Still gonna do a analog tach, oil pressure, temp, and bolts as it will be easier to see at speed. Dash is great but kinda small. Did an oil change on it today. I'll run this stuff for about 500 miles then do another. Got a small coolant leak at the overflow nipple and I wanna tuck some wires and mount the catch can. Then road time!

True that haha

Oh yeah lol. I plan on going with a 245 tire but I'm still unsure if that'll be enough... although I'd rather go through tires then an axle shaft so maybe I don't want it to fully hook.

WJ grand Cherokee control arms. Cheap upgrade as they are fully boxed. Eventually I want to go with tubed though.

Scary lol. Definitely gotta get used to the power it puts down. Chirped the tires just letting the clutch out the first time I took it out. But it's smooth. I'm actually shocked how smooth the motor is. Exhaust is mellow until like 2 grand, then it opens up. I'm gonna try and get a better video once I change the oil and clean it up.

Came out to 570. Don't ask me how, I was prepared to spend like 1200 so when I got the call I was caught completely off guard.

Words cannot express how happy I am... lBbPD7qvFP4

Got the exhaust done today. My friend had a buddy that worked at a Mieneke and they did stainless. He did a kick-@$$ job. All the welds look fantastic and with how tight it was he made it work great.

Always been my daily till I got the Comanche running for the summer, but that goes away for winter so Cherokee it is. Once I get the swap done on the Comanche and it's reliable I'll be taking this off the road for a bit for much needed rust repair. 5 years in Syracuse NY was not kind at all.

Loaded up for the exhaust shop!

Fuel rail gauge, because racecar

If you pick it up rear wheels on the dolly, steer wheels on the ground, definitely ratchet strap the steering wheel straight. When I tow RWD in the air and front on the ground I ratchet from the steering wheel to the seat bracket, and also use the seat belt as back up. Ive gone 60+ mph with big vans and trucks like that no issues. But I am using a purpose built tow truck so control is definitely better. Don't trust the steering lock (made that mistake ONCE)

I've always had awesome results with Milwaukee bits, but like minuit said they burn out more quickly than I'd like. Still I'll take that with how good they cut first

Used to watch this show a lot, their park truck looks very familiar...

Huh. 600 doesn't sound so bad now.

Got the shifter all done and carpet is put back

Wow really? Couple of my friends said that was high. And this is for stainless too

One shop was able to give me a estimate of $600 for the system. Everyone else just said it has to be brought it. The headers I got have a little 6 inch extension with a bung but even that doesn't fit

definetly recommend it. I'm so close its actually painful. I really want to start it up but I have no spot for the o2 sensor and don't want to run it without incase it goes super lean or rich. Trying to find an exhaust shop that will do stainless and mandrel is tougher than I thought. Plus everyone wants to see the truck to give me a quote, which I get but not even a ball park amount. I'm not wasting my AAA calls shuttling it from shop to shop...

Got the shifter in today. This thing is absolutely incredible. Worth every single cent. Now I just gotta see if the carpet will fit where the boot is. Might get a big one that covers everything.

Intake is made! Nothing special about it, summit silicon and aluminum tube and a K&N filter. Sits right where the fresh air intake is behind the headlight. Driveshaft is also in. Stock one weighs about 25 pounds and the new one weighs in at about 12. Super nice quality and fast shipping. Still waiting on the shifter then off to the exhaust shop

I wanted to copy the front end of like a shelby Dakota or typhoon. It's off a S10, eBay 40 bucks lol. Thanks!

So most LS's have a MAF which also has the intake temp sensor in that whole assembly. Holley uses MAP, and in turn has a separate IAT sensor. No ports are in the intake and I wanted it separate from the air intake tube so I found this nifty little egr block off plate that is threaded for a GM IAT used on another LS (I think gto?). Driveshaft and shifter should be here tomorrow and the only thing left is exhaust! Gotta find a place now and see if I can borrow my tow truck from work...

Throttle cable mounted. Factory one off a 98 to 02 fbody with ls1. Just had to enlarge the firewall hole and it fit perfect. Same style clip for the pedal as Jeep

Bosch makes a great cheap tach. Just 4 wires and a hose clamp to the steering column and done. I had a small one for a bit but went up to the bigger size. It perfectly covers the stock tach without getting in the way of anything else.
