Truck is really coming together nicely. I was about to offer you my factory shroud extensions but clearly had no problem fabricating your own. Curious did the LS engine placement allow for you to keep the 4l80 in the same factory position?

it’s ok work, doesn’t compare to the stuff you do sir, but I appreciate the compliment.

Factory shroud extensions? I had no idea that’s a thing? Is it an H1 thing or a Humvee? I do believe I should have run the shroud all the way around the fan, but this is what I had here. We will see.

I kept the transmission exactly where it was. Not having to mess with the trans crossmember or the driveshafts is pretty nice.

For anyone watching this and taking notes, it’s a whole lot easier to run a returnless fuel system than using the return style I had already. I was able to swap my rails for a returnless style thanks to a local guy here. I could have used what I had but also had concerns about using the factory fuel pressure regulator built into the rails. In conjunction with my Aeromotive pump I just had thoughts about it long term not being the best.
