    Ok, so its been awhile since ive be on here heres some progress so far..

    old and worn 4.3 is out


    ran into some problems with the motor mounts passenger side v8 4x4 mounts working perfectly but the diver side was way off so ended up having to make an adapter plate out of 1/2 steel to make the 2wd V6 mounts work


    "These are not the bolts i used, they were just for mock up"


    heres the engine sitting on the new mounts


    intake and front drive assembly on (Dirty)


    every thing in and plumbed up still waiting on the harness..


    3" exhaust with dynomax race bullet no cats..


    trans cooler in and mouted


    trans temp gauge and fan switch


    finally got my harness back from current performance they repinned to work with my 03 fuse block.


    just received my tuned PCM from nelson
