It's almost done, I think, haha. I realize this is like the umpteenth engine bay shot, but its a little more progress with every picture. I've forgone some final detail work temporarily (such as A/C connections) in favor of getting it running under its own power this year. Anyway, all I have remaining is: Cobble together an intake so I can slap the truck MAF and a cone filter on it for the time being. Later I intend to build a proper cold air intake utilizing an LS7-style MAF. Load an F-body tune to the PCM and tweak some settings for the Monte. Fill with fluids and double check for leaks and any connections/ fasteners, including figure out where/ how to mount a coolant overflow reservoir. The LS4 version is just sitting there as I don't know how I want to proceed with it. Besides that, I've: - made a bracket for the oil filter mount to attach it to the rear motor mount. Connected to the engine using -10 PTFE hose and AN-type swivel elbow fittings. - mounted a catch can to a modified (shortened) Monte upper engine mount. The catch can actually made routing the PCV hoses a little easier. - shortened cruise and throttle cables, and reattached. - replaced clutch hydraulics. The master cylinder somehow rolled the inner piston seal since it's been home. I don't know how thst happened, but it explains why it wasn't working upon reassembly. I'm going to try to rebuild the blown master because the appear to be unobtainium nowadays. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but it's getting so close to turn-key that I can taste it. Thanks for looking!
