Thanks! It takes more brain energy / thought time getting the details figured than it does working time IMO.
Radiator and cooling fans are in. Stock 1987 454 radiator with two 1250cfm SPAL fans, stock cooler lines for a 700r4 K10, one hose is corvette and the other Camaro. I put a fitting in the un-used heater outlet for the LS steam vent. And how about that Tejas Steelworks fan shroud and their PCM fender mount!
TV cable for the 700r4 is done, it took some head scratching and math. But after I modified the stock 5.3 throttle bracket to accept the square boss on the cable it all came together. I flipped the arm on the throttle body that went to I don't know what on the stock truck but fits the cable end perfectly. The trick was matching up the TV cable pull length with the throttle. Then going through several throttle cables to get the correct configuration. I am happy with the outcome.
I am almost completely out of details...need to get the air intake figured. The custom engine harness should arrive tomorrow, I'm hoping to see this run by Friday. It won't be able to go anywhere though pending the rear differential rebuild (it's still out).
