well i changed out the tensioner for the wedge type LS2 an took pics ill get them posted tomorrow when i get home an do a small write up

what yall think about a flat black primer paint job with clear an a new front bumper with tow hook holes bc it will be used as a wt not a show truck.

[keniff]

well, i pulled everything back apart to change the tensioner out...do i really need to make a write up?


pull the pulley, front cover

pull all the bolts to the oil pan to expose the pick-up tube

pull the oil pump and loosen the pickup tube so you can get the tube out of the bottom of the oil pump (change the o-ring imo, it's cheap)

take the tensioner out and replace with your new one


put it all back together...

you'll need a 13mm deep drive socket for the pick up tube nuts, 10mm deep drive with a 6" extension for the cover, the oil pan, and the oil pump. the pick-up tube is a lil weird so take your time taking the bolt out.

my wiring harness an Circle D 3000 has arrived ill be putting my lifters an heads on Wed so i hope. ill then throw the harness in the truck. im going to cut my fuel lines down to prep them for the vette filter. im going to drop my tank an get it ready to install my new fuel pump. Redheartbeats sticky in the electrical section will be used as reference bc im dumb when it comes to wiring.
im putting a fuel shut up switch inside the truck..so all i have to do is get a 12v on/off switch, cut the fuel pump lead wire, add new wire to reach on side of the switch, then add wire from the other side back to the fuel pump lead. that way when its on off it cuts the power to the fuel pump, then click it on it'll send power to the fuel pump. right?

im ordering my LTs tomorrow while im
at work i hope..an i still need a throttle cable, cruise cable, an a throttle cable bracket. ill be picking up my PS lines hopefully thurs if not ill make some at work

[keniff]

well a small update...ran into a snag with the fittings i needed oh well

heads are on
pushrods adjusted
water pump on
valve covers on
set up for a test fit tomorrow
the fittings i needed ordered
got my fuel line
order V band clamps
got harness, fuel pump, an stall home

gonna go pick up some chain in a little bit bc i dont have a lift plate.
imma test fit the motor today.
also i have an LS7 valley cover...there's an oil sender screen that goes in before the sensors? of so its not the same as the LS2 screen that i ordered. or the sensor i have is too long..i guess ill have to wait an see when its time for the wiring harness.

motor is bolted in, factory wiring harness is trimmed down to the few little things needed.
fixed all the crap needed to to be reconnected.
im going to pull the fuel tank tomorrow an put the fuel pump in, an trim down the fuel line.
