I think the 454 might give you a run for its money

Lol, I'd give it a shot! I'm sure I've shocked 1 or 2 people before

Well, finally got it to run right--for now anyway. Of course I broke the new pigtail too.View attachment 223815
Fu$@ it! Hopefully it'll be/stay fine.

No more P0200--for now. I was on a very public street, so I was careful.

You can throw some hot glue over that break in the insulation right there at the pigtail. It'll keep moisture out and insulate it.

6.0 from an 05 Silverado HD. Cammed, tuned, long tubes, stalled--hopefully a SC is in its future.

That’s what I thought! Couldn’t remember, since I went through your build thread long ago. I’m eventually going to stroke the 454 out to a 496 and run a Weiand if they can even be found anymore.

I’d drive for it. Especially if we held it on a weekend. Maybe in the Carolinas somewhere?

Lucky me! Ac compressor died. Just in time for the hot weather. Waiting on a jy one. Also noticed a coolant plastic fitting must've cracked--it was leaking.

The line coming from the water pump going to the overflow bottle and heater core/firewall. Got the Dorman, but the fitting was too big.

Had to cut off the new and use the old one.
