Since Im not banned yet...
Made some good progress tonight. My friend had a spare PS pump so I got that taken care of. Still need a pulley though.

We put the truck up on the lift and after some cussing, grinding, and swivel breaking we got the motor mounts changed. I cleaned up the engine bay using super clean and a rag. Then, I took some black engine paint and painted some bad areas. To really do it right it would have to be dissasembled, sandblasted, then painted. But I really dont want to dissasemble anything more than it already is because that will prolong this build by another week atleast. Plus, this is no show truck. It doesnt look great but it looks better than before.

I need help with trying to figure out which wire I connect the speedo output from the ecm to. I have a couple diagrams for my instrument cluster but still cant figure out which one is the right one. My wiring buddy insists on not using the DRAC whatsoever which I guess I can do since Im running DBW. As long as the signal from the ecm is compatible with my speedo it should work.
Got the pedal mounted. We had to shorten the arm and drill a new hole in the pedal mount to get it where I wanted it. Its still not perfect but I can live with it.
My headers are gonna be ok. They need to be touched up but dont look too bad.

I took the 4l60e flywheel off and put the 4l80e flywheel and spacer on but I really dont know if I put it on right. Please check the pics and let me know. Do I have too many parts there? Too few?

Then I attempted to mount the motor in place. For some reason I couldnt get the mounting cups to line up with the mounts. I had this same problem last time I put in the mock setup but the very first time I put in the mock setup it went in like butter with no problems at all. I can get either one of the mounts lined up but not both sides at once. I tried using straps to lift either side independently but couldnt get it. They are always bout 1.5 inches off. I should have taken pictures of this problem but I had to leave suddenly and couldnt.

This is how I left it. Its still not mounted in place but atleast its in there. My converter should be here today so hopefully I can put it in tomorrow night. (Since I have to work tonight).
