Whoa whoa man slow down the adapter will work fine with Doug thorleys and a ls6 intake
I havent been able to find a solid answer on this issue. On DavidGXP's thread he said he had to buy a custom TB adapter to be used with the headers. here is what he had for his adapter.
And the new Valley cover was installed last night along with the heads. finally some real progress.
can you elaborate on the issue with the stock oil pump? i though it would be fine to run with non dod internals.
The dod pump which is high volume will sick the pan dry faster than oil can be returned to the pan. Seen this in a couple of builds now. What's always recommend at DOD delete is a mailing m295 oil pump. Standard pressure standard.volume

Also with that lift on your cam your going to want to upgrade the stock rockers to the bushing upgrade. They won't live long at that lift, I also hope you measured your pushrods correctly for that cam 7.400 (factory) will not work properly. Measure measure measure

I plan on putting a new trans from TEP in the car in about a year or so. And I plan on doing the bushing upgrade for the stock rockers at the same time, hopefully they hold up till then.
here is a few pics from this past weekend, I got the engine back in, and about 90% finished. I just have to put the doug thorley y pipe on and a few other odds and ends like the battery.
that blue plug looks long enough to reach the rack and pinions plug. slide it past the shiftier and the rack plug should reach it. at least thats how it works on a 3800.

Yep, if it's anything like 3800's then that's the Magnasteer connector. That male piece you have their goes from the rack to a female connector that is right next to the shift selector arm. under the EBCM.
I'm gonna try to avoid wrapping the crossover pipe by using a custom TB adapter. header wraps are known to cause the metal to deteriorate over time due to the inability to dissipate heat.
The y pipe is on finally. it was a pain to work the trans dipstick back into place. The hood is also back on. Now Im just waiting for my ecu and tcm to get back from PCM of NC and I should be able to fire it up.
That's a internet myth. My dts were wrapped for 3 years till I went turbo. I'm just saying wrapping the crossover will keep your trans temp down and avoid melting the harness and intake boot. But hey do you man. Why not upgrade to a 90mm tb and avoid having two adapters?

things look to be getting real close to driving it.......
yep, I looked underneath the car and sure enough I found the female connector hanging down by the tire. The car will be done soon, but unfortunately its stuck in the garage until this snow dissappears.

I need some help. I tried to start the car, but i noticed the throttle body isnt opening. It barely moves when i step on the pedal. Could this be a wiring issue?
Well i tried to start the car and the MAF was unplugged. Now i have a reduced engine power light, which i believe means its in limp mode. How do take it bavk out of limp mode?
