Any progress here?

I'm taking a crash course in 8.1 swap 101...and learning much.

I'm running a late 8.1 dbw in a 69 Vette attached to a Richomd six....and hopefully side pipe headers.

Using a modified Painless harness for a LQ DBW - running into some minor headaches on knock sensors...and wire connector for the ECT.

My oil pan is at the fabricators getting shortened...and I also ran medium duty truck mounts like you did on your truck to clear the a/c on my X member.
