    new guy from TX with a project thats about to be a bon fire

    Be nice to the newbie..... figured with my first post I might as well ask a ton of questions..... been lurking for a while but haven't been able to stumble across any of the "right" answers. already have a truck 4.8 and 4l60e putting into a 98 2wd 2 door hoe.

    I was going to make my own mounts/adapters but now that ive gotten that far into it am thinking I'll order the dirty dingo ones(seems best quality for the$).

    My biggest fitment issue so far is the low mount a/c... will not work, no matter how much I cuss and want to throw things, it just isnt going to happen, so who makes a good relocation bracket for the denso compressor? or does one even exist? everything I seem to find is for the other style(name escapes me at the moment)

    I'm also looking for headers that will not hang below the frame( herein lies a special problem) my frame is close to 3" shorter than normal@ the trans xmember and the front has been z'd to stock floor body drop it.

    also looking for suggestions for the wiring? I know there quite a few sources for repining.... if you have gone that way would you again? if you had a completely gutted truck with endless possible directions would you go bare minimum to make the ECM and engine run, and do another separate body harness? and then what to do for collum/key switch.

    what i started with



    semi cleaned up for the Z

    no pics of the current shape its in unless i get ina better mood about it tomorrow and decide to continue working on it..... case of the mondays anyone
