Re: Operation drop top swap
back from paint. that was fast. but it helps when you have all the prep word done and waiting. going to give it a day to cure and then give it a light wet sand and polish in the places will be seen after the engine is back in.

Re: Operation drop top swap
moving right along. got some more go fast goodies. the fitment was good but they were never intended to still have a 700r4 in there. i had to cut a flange on each side to make room getting down to the short list. just a few more wires. some fluids and anything else i might have missed

Re: Operation drop top swap
This looks like the EGR connector. Do you have the pin number and block PCM connector color so I can confirm?

Re: Operation drop top swap
Well the last major job for me to do is now done. relocating the computer from the engine bay to inside where the stock computer was. what a crappy job. over 90 wires cut and spliced at both ends to extend it 4 feet. hours and hours. but its now done!
even got a chance to take the car out for a quick test on the taxi way. Turns out i have a few things to still do before it goes out for a custom Y pipe and tuning
1 header is hitting on the passenger side right down at the collector 2 re bleed the brakes. 3 build a bracket to mount the computer
plus anything else that happens to come up in the mean time
