Thanks again Allen.
The V6 O2's are $62 a shot. So for that I will cut my stock LS1 harness apart for the female plugs.
I'll call you on the conversion harness first. Hate to cut the stock one up.
One step forward and,,,,,,,,,,,,, yep, two steps back.
i bought my last pair on Ebay for $20 each. They were ACDelco.

Thanks "Red"
Oddly, all the stuff I buy off ebay and never thought of that.
"Red",
I placed my order today for the wheel adapters from MotorSport-Technology.Thanks for the lead. Very reasonable cost and very nice (at least per email and on the phone). Asked me where I heard of them from (don't know your name so I said "a guy from the LS1Truck forum" and that they made him a set.
I also went with the wider ones thought they helped fill out the wheel well better. Still kind of doubting the 17" fronts. But the price is right on the wheel set-up.
Wider? 2" wider instead of 1.75" or are you talking 18"s on all four corners? Lost me on that one.

Sometimes I babble on.
Yes the wider adapters. I went with the 2". They push the 18x10.5 out and fill the wheel well nicely. At least with the axles blocked to the right height and a 2" offset measurement on my tape measure.
The front Z06's are a 17x9.5 and that is what I am not sure about.
The front end is back off the truck (for ease of working) making it harder to visualize. I need to get the front end back on and back it out of the shop to get a distance view with the 17/18 fitment.
I admit all this monkey'ing around when I should be hooking up wires.

The 17s fit. I had 17s and 18s on my old truck, the red one that was stolen. The offset difference from the 18s vs. the 17s was towards the fenderwell. Watch the inner clearance of the inner wheel lip to the lower a-arm when you turn left to right.

Not real excited about modding the lower A-arm. It'll be an easy hack with the cutoff wheel. I knew I had to do it though.
Should I have staggered the adapters and went with the 1.75 thickness up front? I don't think they are machining them 'til Monday.
Ordered the vette filter on-line from RockAuto.com ($31.xx) plus some other items. Turned a local cost of $160 into $95. Made the shipping wait time worth it.
Good job on the shopping. The 1.75" adapters up front will help to tuck the tires under the fender wells. Be sure you roll the inner fender lip up with a ball bat or a professional tool designed to do that function. If you're nervous about cutting the a-arms get the plates that you weld under the arms to reinforce them. Any shop that does drops sells the plates. I think I got mine from Godfather Customs.

Is it necessary to use/keep the fusable link wires coming off the junction block?
