Well its been a while...funds have been short, but I have progressed some... I think! Every time I go to do something to my truck, I keep digging deeper. Here's some pics of what i've been up to.

How much longer till your done with the truck?

Hopefully soon! I still need a radiator, waterpump, fan, and fan clutch before i put the body back on. Then I have to figure out all the wiring.

Really glad i only had 3 plugs to deal with on my t5. Looks like the exhaust manifolds are going to be easier than mine. Are you having some one else do the pipes?

All I have to do for now is rewire my alternater and a/c. I read how to do the alternater, but havent figured out the a/c yet. Right now it's just the cats bolted up to the manifols. I'll probably rig up the rest until I get the money to get it done right.

Yes, it will bolt up, with the proper bell housing. But I would use the M-5 out of a truck. smoother shifting and more reliable. Just make sure you seal the shift rail plugs. Remove the rubber ones, install 5/8 freeze plugs with silicone and it will last forever. The wiring is a minor issue. personally I would get a computer for a manual transmission equipped car.

Ok, I got to hear this baby fire up today for the first time ever!! The motor sounds good and it idles well and so far... there is no check engine light! I still have a lot of little things to do but this is a big step!

Sweet! Pics? Vids?

It's dark right now. I will try to get a video tomorrow. I can't run it too long because I have no cooling fan on it right now. I think I will go electric instead of the clutch fan. I'm just being cheap and trying to find something on craigslist!
