little update. got some parts in the other day. as i stated, trying to go through with the 80e swap. should be pulling the 60e tomorrow. figured while i was at it might as well add the trans cooler. read great things about the tru cool 40k but as im trying to do this on a budget i couldnt afford it. so i got the dimensions of it and matched it with a summit brand cooler for almost half the price. figured this was the next best thing. also got required hoses and fittings to get it hooked up.

i wanted to keep an eye on the temp so i got a gauge for it too. then since i need a place to put the new gauge i figued i might as well get the piller pod to hold it. and since im putting a turbo, might as well get one that holds all the gauges i need along with a boost gauge. i havnt got the third gauge yet but i plan on getting an A/F gauge to keep an eye so i dont go lean. so i got 3 pods instead of two. but i couldnt afford the A/R gauge and sensor yet so i will get that later once i get the turbo.



obviously the boost gauge wont be hooked up. just getting things ready. its funny how one thing leads to another... and boy does it start getting expensive!! lol but hey, power cost money right!!

anyway, that is it for now. tomorrow i will be parking the truck and pulling the tranny. also hope to finish getting the shift kit installed. would like to get the 80e in by the end of the week. durring that time the pcm will be sent out to get reprogrammed for it along with some 50# injectors from a forum member. so hopefully i can have this thing running again in the next few weeks.

im also talking to chris at circle d right now and ill probably be putting in a new TC at the same time. still waiting for a reply from him tho. so thats where im at now. ill keep updating as things progress.
