Hmmm. It is gonna be a few months. This is just the first stage. I still gotta buy a LS6 valley cover and new hoses (probably push loc) to complete the new pcv setup. With these covers i plan to run both side into the intake tube pre-turbo. So fresh air to both sides of the motor. The. I need to redo the remaining harness for the new location of the new coil harness. Hopefully that makes sense.

The big install of a bunch of crap will be this summer.

Have you floored it yet with the turbo setup?

Wiring looks good. Clean.

That's good. Given the amount of time we spend wrenching on these things we can't forget to enjoy them as well!

Honestly i enjoy researching, planning, building and tinkering more than driving it.

Hey I'm right there with you. Nothing is more fun that ordering new parts and installing them.

I figured it was time to update this thread since parts are here. I decided to switch over to a camaro style front belt drive. I ordered some brackets from dirty dingo. I got a camaro power steering bracket and alternator bracket i got them with the truck offset. I also ordered a 2010 camaro water pump and tensioner. I also got a ls6 valley cover so i can redo my pcv

I did not like the bare finish soo i painted just the top. I know some dislike the two-tone but i kinda like it. Also i mounted my FPR below the intake and mocked up the fuel lines. These are teflon lined braided steel. One nice thing about using telfon line is they bend tight without collapsing.
