As some of you know I sold my turbo setup and went with a 93 LT1 w/ WC T5.

Here are a few pics of the engine being put in to measure out everything.

Ok update finally,

I have her running after a long process. At first my Eprom chip was bad so I had to get a new one. This time I had the VATS, AC, and all the smog stuff removed.

Once I installed the new chip she would not start... arghhh

Long story short I found out I had no fuel pressure. I checked the pump and it was fine. I drained the tank thinking I had a blockage only to find out I had 1/2g of fuel in the tank.

Put 5 gallons of premium (yikes!) in her and low and behold she started right up.

All I have left to do is get the Driveshaft made, exhaust done, fluids, and clutch line hooked up.

Here is a video of her running (dont mind the popping, the O2 sensors are not plugged in)

If I lower it, I'd only go about 1-2 inches.
