Exactly.  Engine, trans, wiring, A/C, cruise control, and the rear brakes.  Easy stuff.

Yep, same car.  It was Natasha's and will now be reborn into the wagon.  Waste not, want not.

A few process pics.  Thank God it was 7*C out today and I didn't freeze my nuts off doing this.  Learned that the transmission was rebuilt/replaced in 2005, and that is the original engine to the car.

Ordered this bitch today...



We all know that I am pretty anti-billet.  But, a plastic power steering pump pulley spinning at a zillion RPM just doesn't work for me.  Plus, I butchered the stock one getting it off; and it was ugly before I got to it.

Why did you take the pulley off? It's a pain but you can remove the pump from the engine with the pulley on.

That pulley looks nice.

It was chipped and old.  Plus, I think I wanted an excuse to buy the pulley.  Just dropped another $550 at Summit - key purchase: ARP head studs.

I have no clue why arp ls1 headstuds are so damn expensive.


Are you planning on boost?

Well I got them, with 12pt nuts, for $310 and the Summit sales rep had a shit-fit when I found that price on Amazon from ARP-proper.  Felt better doing these than the $100 China studs; and the length of the bolts just scream failure point.  I used OEM head bolts in the TBSS with the Procharger because it is low boost; I am planning on building a high boost 5.3L for it on the side and will stud it.

As for boosting the wagon.  Maybe. ;)  But, if this does make it to Drag Week and we have to do a repair I don't want to risk damaging the threads in the block re & reing a head/lifter/whatever.
