I was waiting to install the engine assy until I got the proper transmission cooling line fittings and lines installed as there isn't what you would say "access" to that area once everything is installed.......Finally got everything ready for install after ordering the wrong fittings twice (lot's of confusion in the ordering process with the threads on the fittings).... After getting the trans lines in I forgot to take a couple of pictures of what I did......Darn !!!........ Getting these lines installed is one of the bigger problem area's of LS installs......
So....Using the Holley Engine Trans install kit I decided to give it a try and see if there were any issues...... Again, the Holley kit is engineered perfectly as the engine and trans slid in and bolted right up....... Wow.... Great to buy something that actually does what it's supposed to do....... Another one of my concerns was in my choice to buy the Holley Mid-Mount front drive assy..... I was told there would be a clearance issue with the power steering pump reservoir and the steering box...... We are installing a Hydra Boost so I decided to gamble and buy the unit anyway....... That was the first thing I looked at after installing the engine..... Plenty of room......the gamble paid off ........ I also bought some shorty headers that were supposed to fit..... LOL.... Just ordered the Hooker long tubes headers designed by Holley so I know the will fit when they get here......... Again... I realize I can't afford "Cheap" stuff !!!!...... LOL.... Now to get the wiring sorted out and hidden.....
