Yeah, but it's not SC'd anymore. Getting ready to go turbo. Probably take it off the road sometime next month for the conversion.

Well I cleaned up the garage to make some room for next weeks work. I fixed the GSL-SE oil pan sump. It had been flattened out when the guys at the junkyard pulled the motor. I also cleaned up the oil cooler and found some cracks on the thermostat housing that will need to be repaired before use. While I was at it I started modifying the oil pickup tube with a bell mouth bottom and am looking to modify the oilpan a bit since it will be usede for drag racing. Looking to weld a forward facing vane in there to keep the oil around the pickup during those nice hard launches.

Reconnected a wire to the CPU that had been cut to run a turbo timer with the stock alarm. The list of things to fix is down to 9 :o/

Fuel lines and tank

Tonight I crawled under her and dropped the tank, pulled the feed lines and inspected the inside. Found a screen floating around in there that PO must have tried to adapt to the tank. Removed it, plumbed new braided stainless lines blew out feed,vent and rerturn lines and re-connected all. Going back out later to test.

started building my new exhaust well the rear section any ways im designing a quick swap system for the rear option #1 over the Axel to a magnaflow option #2 under the Axel to the magnaflow to see if i like it option #3 under the Axel to a straight pipe with a walmart resonated tip

all in 3 in and for the under the Axel options the 3 in pipe will be kind of smooshed so its oval shaped for clearance reasons and started milling the header flange for my custom header thats about it ill have pics when its done b4 and after
