Sorry for the delay but I finally got both the dipstick and the time to put it in. Took her for the first short test drive down the street, motor and tranny both feel solid and no low speed vibrations in the rest of the driveline. Need to attach the stock exhaust to the new downpipes and hook...

Dipstick tube has not turned up yet but I've got another on the way hopefully it will arrive soon I'm dying to drive this thing!

Finally got time to finish hooking up the cooling system and transmission cooler lines. Was feeling good about running it down the street yesterday until I realized I hadn't installed the flexible trans dipstick tube I ordered, which wasn't a big deal but for the life of me I cannot find the...

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, been busy with finals coming up in the next few weeks. Its not driving just yet but I have got the exhaust manifolds finished up with the v-bands installed. The shifter cable and brackets are done. Only problem with that is the stock shifer only...

WHOO!! Got it fired today and it runs like a dream! Got the fuel leaks fixed, for some reason it wanted to leak around two of the injectors and I had to tweak those rails a bit to get it to stop. Hooked the ecu up and it fired on the first crank. Now I can finish wrapping up that wiring. Got...

Got all the parts I ordered in the last few days. Got the harness all wired with the new fuse box, injector plugs and rigged for stand-alone. Chopped the mid-section out of the engine crossmember and the GTO pan fit like a dream. Need to brace it up a bit before I start driving it. I worked til...

Thanks for the support! Anyways it's snowing quite a bit here today so not much progress on the LS but I did finally start cleaning the motor up today and its looking pretty sweet. The injectors came in the mail today need to order the fuel dampener which wasn't included with the new fuel...

I ended up running a new 3/8 from front to back and using the 5/16 original feed line as the return starting from the factory fuel filter location. I was worried mainly about the jet pump working correctly with this setup. I rerouted the lines in the jet pump module because I was running the...

A little disappointment today, thought I finally got the oil pan completed but it STILL leaks. I have rewelded it multiple times and I'm burnt out on it. Did a little measuring and I can fit a stock gto pan if I notch the crossmember. Hell I would have went this route earlier if I had already...

Kentucky actually, plenty of crappy weather here lol And small update, big thanks to 98lincmk7lsc, bought those injectors off him hopefully they will arrive soon

Thanks for the support! Hoping to be in the mid 13's as a starting point with the stock engine. Gears may be too high at this point to get there but I think thats a pretty reasonable number considering I already have the stall and a traction-lock. I'm sure it will do some pretty sweet burnouts...

Got the fuel mods about wrapped up last night, ran a new 3/8" line from the filter all the way to the tank. The new pump came in as well, as expected it was about an inch too tall to fit in the sending unit but I didnt want to cut the bottom out so i clearanced the top hole and let it stick out...

Got a big shipment of parts in yesterday and today but haven't had much time to work on the Lincoln. Didn't get my days off this week either. But the oil pan is done, ended up smoothing the welds down with filler. (sanded it down after I took this picture) Looks small in the picture but should...

I went to install a corvette style fuel filter/regulator on my '01 LS to support my 4.8l chevy swap and discovered that the factory fuel lines are a tiny 5/16". These would probably support the 4.8 in stock form and maybe through a cam swap but I'm eventually looking to go forced induction to...

Thanks for the advice on that. Most of my issue was that the machine settings were soo far off what it sets for steel. I finally got the pan welded up solid. Has a few small leaks that ill take care of tomorrow, probably smear on a little liquid metal filler over the welds to dress them up...

Got all the aluminum mig stuff rounded up earlier today and got some practice on some scrap aluminum I had laying around, pretty steep learning curve but I'm getting the hang of it. Got the pan cut and got the filler plates tacked on it. Gotta lift the motor tomorrow and make sure it fits before...

Small Update: Finally got around to checking the oil pan clearance to figure out which one I need to order. Turns out basically none of them will clear. The holley lsx pan would be the closest but I don't see any sense in chopping up and rewelding a $400 pan. So I'm gonna chop the truck pan and...

I found my original valve and hose assembly that I took off during teardown I'm gonna go ahead and reuse it for now. I was initially planning ahead and collecting parts for later mounting something else in that general area and my exhaust would need to go out that side.:D

I'm gonna get it up over there eventually, probably after I get it up and running which "hopefully" will be before the end of the month. Id get it done sooner if it will ever quit snowing here. Quick question about the climate control system, does anyone know if the air blows through the...

There are a few oveer in my build thread in the high performance forum
