go to o'reilys for the hose, everything else is unfortunately dealership... or gmpartsdirect.com<--- way cheaper than dealership. I'm lucky on the tb-sc gasket.... I found a round one that matches up perfectly lol


as for things done today, well we got the stock tensioner off.... got the valve cover back on(new paint), smoothed out that one part of the engine that would hit tensioner pulley, got tb put on sc.... washed car, and put a clay bar to it. Just waiting for injectors, and alt bracket to come in to finish it up. Hopefully tuesday night.

a legit how-to helps. No offense to Beck, but his how-to isnt really helpful at all except for the parts list and for the TB rewiring

i got a free broken bracket from raulito but it was an easy fix with jb weld it was just like where it bolts up i fixed and painted it looks new

by the way how did you get that bottom mount to bolt in did you put in on first and then the intake or all on one peice because i left it off i am thinking about trying to bolt it in the morning from going under the car and try i got pretty far today

you need to put it on. the IC pump bracket attaches to it. And yea, it needs to go on before the manifold. i dont think theres enough room to put it on once the manifold is there
