| Modified factory gas pedal for the DBW setup. Got a plastic tank from a 95 wagon 95 Caprice underhood fuse box tied into harness. I also am running Trailblazer SS exhaust manifolds. | |

| Looks like a cool project. Now we have two LS swaps to follow on the board. | |

| Dark gray Bonneville seats up front with a 96 Impala center console Scored a set of truck rallys at the U-pull also. Blasted, etch primered and painted. Out setting up the speedometer Here it is 2 weeks ago. Then we shortened the shifter 1.5" also last weekend. That's it for now. I have all new carpet and sound deadener at home, but will have to wait for a couple weekends to have to to work on it again. It is fun. It has a 2.93 rear gear, which is not as fun as it could be though. | |

| Thank you. It took a little longer than expected, but quicker than I first planned. I planned on just letting it sit for a year or two, because I just wanted to get a gray interior car. LOL. | |

| Nice work, didn't realize there was that much hood clearance in the box wagons. BTW, those are some cool looking gauges there. Do they have any idiot lights at all or do they all show up on the lcd as text? | |

| I don't know!! There is SO much that they can do. They have about 20 add on boxes you can use too. What lights were you wondering about? | |

I saw that it said check engine on the display, was wondering if something like the oil light, generator, etc showed up there as well. | |

| It's got the gauge for those, don't know if they have a warning for them.......I will find out and let you know. I know it shows 0-60, fastest mph, goofy stuff like that. | |

| LOL!! It actually does have a service vehicle countdown you can setup to remind you. The dang things were almost as much as the car, but STILL cheaper than 6 AutoMeters. | |

| Thanks guys. It is running and driving, I'm slowly redoing the interior. Trying to find unobtainable GM clips and stuff. | |

| How bad was the wiring? That's the part I fear most in a LS swap after the frame mods, never learned how to weld. | |

| Oh man, this what happens when I leave! Started swapping my 89 wagon a while ago but haven't been posting. Looks great man. I was considering the plastic fuel tank too, looks like that's what I'm doing. | |
