Well, I can start it reliably but I'm still working on getting the wiring in a better manner before I venture away from the house. I've had friends and family in town the past two weekends and havent had much time to work on it. Hopefully tonight I should have something a little more solid going on. I have gotten my LS6 beauty covers in the mean time and put them on. They look pretty sharp! Thanks for the intrest! :cheers:

I drove it around the block yesterday to see how it was going to do. I had the alternator hooked up incorrectly and I killed my battery, I also found a few things I need to tighten down before I take it out again. Everything is looking very promising though!!! I thought I'd throw in the clutch picture for the hell of it too

Yeah, I hear ya. I still need a speedometer and tach for mine.
But first I gotta finish these brakes. :crazy: I still don't know why I started them before the gauges.

Bob,
That looks AWESOME! :eek: :eek: :eek:
those clutch master cylinders you have pictured there, what are they originally for? I have 2 units for my ZF6 transmission and the rod on them is way too small. I was about to modify them but the ones I see in your pics have much longer rods, the right length ???

The top one with the chopped line is from the 2000 TA donor car where the engine came from. The other bulkier looking one is a $30 autozone replacement part for an '85 1 ton GM pickup. I have the size of the fittings on a receipt somewhere if you need to know. I had to shorten the rod an inch or two btw. :cheers:

all those cylinders use the same fittings on the hydraulic (braided) line I think (at least all the ones I checked had the same thread) Hmm, you'll have to shorten it. Well, shortening or making it longer takes about as much work so I guess I'll just make mine longer since I have these units already (have used and spare ones. can't have too many replacement parts :) )
