Now alot of cleaning up has to be done, but here are some pics, not the cleanest.
1st is the garage. 32'x24' and not big enough. don't go 24' deep.
this used to be a 16'x24'..

 

shot of egr block off plates.. sort of..

 

clearance on the headers against the heater box..

power steering hose

 

shot 2 -- few more to come.. sorry im not a photographer.

 

Lookin good man. I wouldn't worry about the heater box too much. I'm also running the Hedman's and I've had the LT1 in for almost 4 years now and I haven't had any problems with that.

 

Hey thirim that looks like the power steering hose i have. i thought i had the wrong one but i see yours is runing i front of your engine. thats the way the one i got will line up to. so both egr and egr feed hose are blocked off correct. do i have to do anything to the computer for that ? i will need to get it programed some how. you would think living in indianapolis with as much raceing going on here there would be some where i could take my pcm to get programed but nnnooo. cool man thanks for the pics

 

Both egr ports on the intake are blocked. I used some 1/8" Aluninum that i had.. you don't need much..

You have to get egr turned off in the computer. I have a small amount of electronics experience.. very small, I went to www.wotelectronics.com and got there $35 do it your self cable. I then bought tunercat and the $ee bin... when you get all that, the only connection to the car is a signal and gnd. hook it up, run tunercat, grab your program out of the computer, uncheck the egr stuff and vats and ac, so whatever else you want and upload it.. took me about 10min. very simple. and with the same cable you can run the car and see how the sensors and stuff are running, via freecomm which there is a link on the wot page.

btw if u can think of any other pics u want, lemmie know, i have to return the camera.

 

wow that looks insane! Keep up the great work! LT1!

 

going back a little bit did you hook any wires to the connecter under the passenger side that had the the blue fuel enable signal and about seven other wires that where connected to the ecm?

 

uh.. yeah, hmmm.. yes, didn't finish there yet either, but fused 12v for the fans is there. vats, gnd for vats (important) .. perhaps another 1. you can get 12v for fuel injectors, but I didn't learn that until i got it from somewhere else..

 

mostly everything i wired to c100 block and my car starts with a by pass i bought for vats till i can get it programed. i'v driven it to the muffler shop and back no problem. did you connect your fans to that connecter instead of the relays? oohh up date power steering line is on thanks again.

 

Looking good!!

 

hey guys got the power steering line is in and it fit nice with a little bending here and there. the olny thing about it when i have to change the serpintine belt i will have to remove the power steering pump but other than that it's cool. also headers bolted down good clearence on both sides.

 

i wasn't too impressed by the power steering line either.. i didn't have to bend mine at all, but i could see where you could and maybe get it to fit a bit better. I don't know if you bled it yet, but all I did was keep it topped off and turn it lock to lock a few times.. worked fine.

 

what? why?

 

do you see the pic thirim has where the alternater is. the power steering linegoes between the belt. got question after you guys ran your car for a while did any one check there plugs? mine where black (carbon build up). i checked the plugs before i started it and they where fine what is this from ?

 

oooooohhhhhh. missed that. black plugs is from running rich. too much carbon buildup.

 

i will check my plugs. they were new when i put them in.

 

got my car back from muffler shop runs pretty smooth but i don't feel that wwwooooossshhhh everybody else feels. i mean it was alright but . maybe it's just me. but any way its all good my speed o dosen't work at all. i thougt i had it hooked up. i know the signal is different but i thought it would at least move or something.

 

Did you have the PCM reprogrammed? It is a big part of this swap. After mine, I initially drove the car for a bit and felt the same way until Ion at www.madz28.com did a tune for me and it felt like I just got another 100 hp

 

no haven't got the pcm programed yet. but i got a hold of ion and hopfully next week i could take it to him so he can hook it up for me.
p.s you kinda look like dennis gage in that pic lol

 

Yeah..thats just the avatar I've been using for a while now. I believe Speedingpenguin made it over at www.thirdgenfbodies.com Time for something new.

 

Trans Am#5 which program did you get from Ion? I have a t5 on my lt1 if that info helps

 

I have a modified f-body program running a t56.

 

when you say t56 program, whats up there? I just put in t5 and it worked. PCM used to be attached to an automatic.

 

My LT1 was originally from an auto car, but I'm using a T-5 now. I got the T-56 program from Bryan, then cutoff the auto harness. Only code I get is for CAGS.

 

cags? COmputer Aided Guidence System?? lol

 

It's not KITT here.

 

really though, what does it stand for?

 

Computer Aided Gear Selection

 

so i was close
