88 Sport Low N Slow

Started cutting to fit the shift tower. Experimented a bit with how I was going to close it up and started cleaning up the interior. Pressure washed the carpet and cleaned up the floor pans before they started to rust for real.

Floorboards before and after. Yes I wire wheels all the rust out, vacuumed, cleaned with alcohol then painted.

I went to bleed my brakes and my stock master cylinder @#$%in exploded brake fluid all over the engine bay… decided to upgrade to a wj booster and master cylinder. I used some spacers to get the brake pedal close to the stock location as far as pedal depth, but make sure you bleed the brakes before sliding those spacers in and mounting otherwise you won’t be able to press the pedal down 100% to get them bubbles out. Grinded down the round spot on the end a wee bit for the brake light switch.

And here we go with a mostly completed look. Need to wire up the windows, pulled all the tape and installed all the trims already.

Mounted the computer in the stock mj location. Had to modify the throttle cable bracket to be able to get 100% of the throttle from the pedal. After this I saw another person that used a mixture of the f body mount I used and the stock Comanche mount. I definitely think that was the better route to go, I may change it up and copy him down the road. I would give him credit but I don’t remember where I saw it. Also replaced my dome lights with the euramtec lights. First time I’ve ever had interior lighting! It’s so nice who would have thought??

And that’s where I'm at in this point in time. The truck is driveable now but I have odds and ends I want done before I take it out for real. I need to finish moving the shifter assembly back with a remote rod linkage, finish the wiring for my e fans, finish the VSS signal for the LS, I have a connection on my exhaust I need to redo, etc. I’ll make sure to get updates posted as I go thank you all for reading! I am going to work on a parts list for everything I used for the swap, check back in if you would like to see that
