Yup, Caltracs are on the list for sure.

Currently, trying to figure out the routing for my catch can. I did some searches... now I am even more confused.

I was looking at pictures of how it was routed on my old F-body cars. But, I noticed some differences in the valve covers and the location of the port on the intake manifold. I had an LS6 valley cover on both cars, not sure if it is needed on my truck. Either way, I am irritated... going to give up for the night and look at it again tomorrow.

Got the headers installed, and most of the exhaust system done. I am using the old Magnaflow muffler back from a 96' Silverado extended cab I used to own.

Finished welding everything up this morning and hung the tailpipe. The heat and humidity kicked my ***. I wanted to do more, but too tired. Hope I can figure out my catch can routing this week.

Got the stepside bed into the shop so I can finish the body work and paint it. I have multiple changes going on at the same time.
