No, instead of waiting for a call I might not get..I went ahead and called the DS company directly..the guy I spoke with said they put a ford yoke on the order form(???) so he went ahead and sent me the right yoke free of charge I just have to send this one back. =) I should have it Friday. Im gonna let my fuel rails sit one more day before I run anymore gas through them..(the sealant takes 72 hours to set )then set fuel pressure...and the wiring plug should be here today..so im hoping to have this thing fired up Thursday...possibly driving Saturday so I can make it to a car show on Sunday.

More than enough room but no im not using it. Ive never used A/C on any of my vehicles and even removed it on the stock v6 engine. Now theres even more room and a downpipe will fit beautifully where the ac comp used to go.

Also, I could not get my fuel rails to seal up no matter what I did. Fuel would leak out of the ends...so I went ahead and welded the ends right onto the rails...they look like **** now..but they dont leak. Im buying another set of rails today and im going to put them on after I get the car up and running.

Of Course... you live in Connecticut. Who needs A/C when its 50 degree in the Spring

Me on the other hand... my LSX C3 has no air either and I live in Florida.

But all C3s have T-TOPs!!!

hey snyper, your build is going great. I wish you would take the time to stand by your word. I purchased a worn out clutch, fly wheel and slave cylinder in march. As you know I have attempted to contact you about the missing slave cylinder. You said it was shipped but I have not received it. Please do the right thing and refund my MONEY! Paypal is now involved.
