I know, I'm ready for some Harlan wheeling.

Also plated, gusseted, and welded my spring hangers on so I don't tear one off like I did in Lions den last year.

The hanger after Lions den and a trail fix so I could keep going.

The back is plated and has gussets to the frame.

I have most of the extra crap removed from the harness. Man that's a lot of wires...

It already looks better. Most of that extra wire is gone. The hard part will be getting the computer to the passenger side inside the cab. The PCM was originally right next to the drivers wheel well. It will be in good shape by the end of tomorrow.

Kudos, on building your own harness from stock! I made mine for the LT1 swap and had to do the same thing with moving the computer from the driver's front to the passenger rear of the engine compartment. By building my own I learned so much more about how the fuel injection system actually worked.

Exactly, which also helps tracing problems down in the future.

Got the harness done. This is much better.

Dropped the PCM off to a guy in White Oak that will remove all the BS I don't need for $90.. http://lt1pcmtuning.com/ We'll see how he does.

Ordered the fuse block for the engine today. Should work out good. http://www.waytekwire.com/item/46345...RO-RELAY-RTMR/

There is no way I will have this ready for memorial day at Harlan.

Looks like I'm RZR bound.

04 was during the years GM used Castech heads, which are known for hairline cracks in them.

93 Krawler · 05-15-2015, 09:42 PM

Mine look like this. Hopefully this is a good thing.

I checked the heads for cracks and didn't see any. I did this as a preliminary check in hopes of seeing something obvious. Since I didn't, off they go to the machine shop to be cleaned, pressure tested, and checked for flatness. I'm taking them tomorrow to Performance Engineering in Hamilton. I've heard good things about them. https://www.facebook.com/PerformanceEngineeringLLC

Got the heads back. They said no cracks, but needed to be milled.
Lapped the valves in myself.
