Well all in all, to this point i think progress is great. I've learned alot, spent tons of money I didn't think I had. Purchased many tools never expected needing, and of course, recieved tons of help and goodies from 6gc.net. My thanks to the community once agian, I couldn't have come this far without ya guys!

Final Payment made on 3sgte

Shall arrive in 4-6 weeks.

List of things to purchase:

S54 & linkage cables
Clutch Kit 3s clutch 5s plate =/
GT Throttle Cable
MAF Sensor?
GT AC lines - Compressor?
GT Rad Lines
GT Rad? - Aren't they the same from the ST to GT? If not...koyo will be purchased, and fans reversed.
Water Pump & lines
Complete seal kit before install
Timing belt
Hood of some sort, being stock intercooler will be used.


Mount and Crossmemeber already arranged.
Harness already converted
Already have a walbro pump
Guages will be done in a slightly different fashion - I will be using a Ladder logic PLC to control serial data input to a small IPX computer that will display programable guages to a small screen that will lift from the former air bag on the passenger side. While accomplishing this, most likly will just grab some cheap guages to monitor the import fields..boost oil?
