Well I am on vacation this week and made my parts order for fuel lines and filters. Plus I just boght two mid shifts. One is good and the other one won't work in 1st or 2nd is what the guy said. Hopefully I can get the motor mounted and some of the plumbing and wiring done.

Happy to be getting some GM powered company.

Well when I put my motor in I had to change about everything in the back from air bags to radiator mounts. Here are some pics of the new progress. Oh and I moved everything as far forward as I could.

Damn you got your self in a mess lol. i dont think you can buy enough beer for me to get to that mess. im kidding did you get a hold of josh so you could look at his s/c?

Nice job. Cant wait to hear how your ecotec sounds with the sc.

Hey dope I have it all under control now. The rest of my parts should be in by thursday. A little bit of welding and painting today and hopefully get the trans and motor in tonight. Then just hook everything up.

You gunna bring that beast to D&K on Halloween. I want to see it.

I am going to try like crazy to get it done. I want to get a ride or two on it locally to tune everything in.

Well got everything welded up today and painted back. Plus got the motor, trans, and air bags mounted. Now it is time for the plumbing and wiring. I am still waiting on this http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_ion ... &catid=143 . I will have to take it easy for the next few days. I am going to have my baby makin problem fixed.

Couple of questions come to mind
When you say you had to move the engine and trans way forward, how did you do that and is that going to cause your axles to be in a bind?

What kind of air bag system did you get?

When I said everything I meant radiator, gas tank, heat exchanger, and so on. And I just had a set of air bags and copied how other people on here are doing it.

SSSSWWWWWEEEEETTTT What did the S/C Ecotec come out of? Thanks Dave (droolin on myself) T

OK I gotcha. So the frame was long enough in the back to fit the Ecotech, that is cool. One less thing to worry about.
What did the radiator come out of?

jeep cherokee

What kind of fuel pump are you using and who did you get your trans adapter from? Sorry for all the questions, but your building the exact rail that I had on my mental scratch pad. Its nice to see it actually being built.

Nice looken car. I made that front beam and shock towers i think.

I am using a walbro 255 lph pump. But you have to use a bypass regulator because they have a returnless fuel system. And they need 58 psi at idle. I have a adapter plate for a n/a ecotec. But Kennedey adapters has one for the s/c.

looking good, see your using deans trailing arms.
