Looking terrific.
Missed the dec post. "Replaced heater hoses"... did you by chance find and replace the hoses for the rear seat heater assembly? Apparently those are like chicken teeth now.

That intake turned out great, I'm slightly confused though, I thought you were swapping in a 3.4? Sorry if I'm confused, I read a lot of build threads.

Got the engine mounted with tg bomb proof engine mounts but I had to machine them to fit. It was a job but it's in. I got the tranny bolted up as well. Good day, hard physical work but success.

Well I tried keeping it as low as possible and had allpro send me their low profile front spring hanger as well as 4" instead of 5" shackles. I mounted it a half in forward of the frame but it actually needed to come another half inch forward because it has a different rectangular tubing that is wider than the standard mount so it doesn't work with the standard instructions. However the drag link was hitting the tie rod at ride height and moving the hanger forward was only going to make it worse even though my shackle angle was too shallow and I only had a couple inches of up travel before hitting the bump stops.
I called allpro and they sent me the standard hanger and shackles and it looks like that fixed it. Steering arms clear at ride height, shackle angle looks perfect and I am 5.5" from the frame now from the bump stop

Burned in the shock towers as well:

63" leaf springs off a 97 Tahoe to replace the coil sprung rear soon. Also have an 2" add a leaf to put in for what hopefully will match the 4" front leaf spring lift.

She's back from the dead but has a code 52 so apparently the computer isn't reading the knock sensor. And there is some horrible noise coming from the bellhousing that I can't yet confirm but suspect that the starter gear is stuck on the flywheel. To be continued.

Yep starter gear was rubbing against the flywheel gear. Mostly self clearanced so I just took my angle grinder and finished it. No more awful sound. On to the knock sensor.
