    What are you going to be using for fuel management? Build looks awesome and a chassis/motor/trans for under a grand is one good deal!

    Edit: just now saw that you're using EFILive, good luck with the build ill be checking up on this a lot

    Thanks guys! I was able to get the charge pipes done today, need to mount the crank case catch can and the trans cooler, and then I guess I can tear this mfer apart to clean and paint it.

    Nice clean routing. What size gate, and where did you source the flex for the gate?

    Got the throttle cable mounted tonight and think I found a spot for the crank case breather tank. What do you guys think??

    your cruising right along with this project. I think the breather will do just fine there, it's tucked out of the way.

    The Camaro sending unit I ordered came in yesterday, need to get that mf'er mounted. Anyone know if it makes a difference on which wire sees 5V and which is the signal wire back to the dash cluster??

    Might also swap the gears out (4.10's to 3.27's) this weekend if I get a chance to.

    The only real fab work I have left is mounting the BOV, catch can, and evac tube in the down pipe.

    Need to figure out what I'm going to do for a shifter too, I have a 4 cyl. car shifter (they have 4 forward gears), I just have to figure out how to make that work with a cable and the trans. Or I could just get an aftermarket shifter lol.

    I'd opt for the aftermarket shifter.... get it rolling and cruise up to my place !

    Sounds like a plan!! Got the injector rails mounted and the exhaust finished, need to get the breather tank mounted. Going to try and mount the gas tank sending unit tomorrow.

    I'm really not sure what I'm going to do, I'm on the fence about fixing whats there or making a whole new harness for it....

    you can find a whole dash harness fairly cheap if you just want to plug and play. good thing about fox bodys are the abundance of parts available
