I still have got to get the old harness out and cut everything out of it that I don't need like the tbi and anything associated to it but all in all I think I've lost about 60lbs or more of dead weight.
Still has some time before it hits the autocross again but when it does it will be a awesome thing to drive.

Got the seat bracket in on time and bolted up with it seating a little high to get in and out of but that's due to the bolstering on the side but it feels pretty good seating in it and got the wiring harness in a day late but it's here and will be a few weeks before I pull the engine and trans out to cut the hole in the fire wall.

Made a support bracket for the clutch pedal bracket that I made out of part store flat stock and bent it to z shape and drilled some holes to mount the clutch bracket to the dash frame(not pictured yet) and mounted the clutch master cylinder so I can start on making the custom clutch line to mount to the Camaro slave cylinder.

Then went ahead a drilled the 2" hole for the wiring harness in the only place I could find with a flat surface and not covered by the heater box that is about 4 to 6 inches from the gas pedal.

I test fitted the harness but had to pull it back to run the harness through the dash for a cleaner look.Name:  2016-07-19 17.59.41.jpg

I have replaced the lazy stock pump with a Aeromotive 340 pump to keep up with the higher fuel pressure the LT1 requires.

Got the driver side head off to the machine shop to get two exhaust manifold bolts drilled out that broke when I took the manifolds off.

Also waiting this weekend to order a few things for the interior and head gaskets and intake gaskets. The head gaskets will be .027 thick Cometic MLS to boost compression closer to 10.75 to 11:1.

Getting the carpet, rear speckers, seat bracket, shifter boot, and some Summit sound deadening to cover where the carpets jute won't cover for a little more quite cab for the loud exhaust I got planned fo
