Salvage yard broke the intake where they always do. The stud that hold the front engine cover bolt is snapped off.
So they didn't have any other good ones and ended up getting me a stock aftermarket replacement. I'm not to pumped about running non oem stock parts but I don't have much of a choice at this point.
It all hooks up the same but uses different gaskets, bolts, vacuum fittings, etc. It's shaped different also. I'll probably end up swapping it out for a good oem since stuff like this bugs the crap out of me.

I'm tossing the stock truck manifolds for C6 manifolds off a corvette. They both drop down at the same angle right behind the motor mounts. They also incorporate the 02 sensor which will save me a step later and also clean things up.

Some Patooyee motor mount plates and Artec link mounts
melted together complete my motor mounts.
Ruff Stuff bushings get mounted into the brackets. The oversized Artec brackets should act as a heat shield and keep some of the exhaust heat off of the bushings.

New pump from PSC. Probably the only update for today. The F350 brakes are metal on metal so it's probably time to fix it. Too bad I get to do ball joints, inner axle seals, u-joints, bearings, rotors, calipers, and lines all at the same time. I've only had all the parts sitting here for almost 2 years.

Picked up the trans that Advance Transmission out of Knoxville built for me. I just told them what I'm running and build me something that will hold up to it. It's a TH350 with billet sprag. GM made a few different flywheel and torque converter patterns.
10.75" - Small GM, TH350, 700r
11.5" - Large GM, TH400, 6.0 LQ4 using the HD transmissions
11" - LSX motors, 5.3, 5.7. 6.0 LQ9, etc using the lighter duty transmissions.
The 6.0 LQ9 that I'm using comes with the LSX pattern so I swapped a 6.0 LQ4 on it that is the large GM pattern and using a TH400 torque convereter. The converter is a Dacco DC540 which is a stock stall HD converter.
