He was actually rubbing his vagina all over the fender.... Good thing Steve didn't get pics of him with the exhaust pipe.... :confused:

LOL guess it's a good thing I got the first turn at the throttle body. :jester:

Well as Dan said he got the radiator core and bumper back on the truck. Tonight was finishing installation of the electric fans, finalizing design of PCM mounting & installation, CAI plumbing, upper radiator hose routing, and honestly we just needed a night to regroup and replan.

 

Plenty of room between the engine accessories and cooling fans :cool:

Passenger's exhaust manifold installed - looks good! The CAI will be refabricated from a K&N unit off a Silverado. A battery relocation had originally been considered and dismissed in early planning (out of budget) but after tonight's discussion we will go ahead and relocate the battery to make room for a very robust designed CAI.

To-do list:

* Fabricate Y-pipe to catback

* source/install smaller power steering pump pulley

* measure/source smaller accessory drive belt

* cut/balance/install driveshaft

* source/install A/C lines

* plumb tranny cooler lines & mount external ATF cooler

* fabricate throttle/cruise cable bracket

* fabricate CAI

* install engine radiator hoses

* finish EFan control box wiring

* Battery relocation

* Wire engine management harness to fusebox

* Wire body control/instrument panel to PCM harness

* Charge A/C, fill fluids

* Program PCM

 

So we'll continue to be at it the rest of the week I'm sure.

Yup now lookin' like a real truck; we're down to the short strokes. I think we're a day ahead of schedule. :closedeyes:

Add to the paint list - the upper radiator hose clamps, the rusty ones look nasty, need to be hit with black spray paint.
