We're getting close. In between multiple storms, ive checked off about 75% of everything on that list. I finished everything for the trans. Kickdown, shifter, NSS, and vent. Just needs ATF now. Starter and headers are installed now: The stock 460 intake has horns in it, to reduce airflow while increasing velocity. Well, with everything ive done to the motor i need the additional air volume, so i removed them: So with the headers in i installed the plugs & wires, coil, air filter, intake, pretty much everything that was left. Pretty sure the only things i have left to do, is add coolant and hook up the battery! So today i finally sucked it up, and drug this out of the garage: It royally sucked, but its in: The doubler fought me every step of the way. So while its in, thats as far as i got. Still need to hook up the shifters, vent lines & speedo cable. Then i can put in the anti-wrap bar, both driveshafts, exhaust, and i have to run the wires for the wideband O2 sensor. Be ready, cuz if all goes well, she'll be running next week! Ok, i finished refreshing the NP203/205 doubler. All degreased: NP203 range box removed: Seeing as this kit is from 2005, the intermediate shaft is a stock shaft cut down & resplined, as opposed to a new 4340 shaft that most kits use now. Fortunately, the shaft still looks good: Ok, lets get this thing cleaned up! ...and done! All cleaned up, new output shaft seals, new shift rail seals, and a fresh coat of paint! Next up is the transmission... |
