Well, here's an update. It's been slow due to 2 knee surgeries since Dec. 4, but I get a little done here and there.

Ordered the Corvette Rad/Dual SPAL elect fans, motor mounts, and the JTR manual first.

Cleaned, Painted, and Detailed the 350 and 700R4 tranny that came out, added an 88 4.3 accessory drive setup to the front - serpentine belt baby!

Ordered Evap/Heater box plate - modified box - applied plate (burned up my dremel in the process)

Modified Firewall

Deleted all the Manual Tranny assc'd crap

Ordered a tranny lockup kit from TCI

Modified Radiator Support to mount Rad in forward Position - ordered new mount pads and core support mount kit (LMC)

Bought a 92 Typhoon Center Console/Shifter assy online (thanks Mark) it's freakin awesome.

Performed Test Fit

Cleaned, wirebrushed, and painted engine compartment area.

Will perform addt'l firewall mod this weekend and attempt to start final installation.
