I have 5 things left to do on it before we turn it loose:
1. Wire up the AC kick input so the idle increases when the AC is on
2. Tighten up the steering column (feels like the two 15mm nuts under the dash are loose)
3. Pull the centering plunger out of the brake proportioning valve (forgot to take it out after bleeding the brakes)
4. Install the BIM module so the Terminator will talk to the gauges
5. Change the oil/filter and then inspect the filter to make sure all is well.

We will have it at LS Fest at Bowling Green in a couple weeks. Then it will go home to its new owner, if not sooner.

Care to share the cam/stall & other changes made to the 6.2? It's nice to read through the things required to get these newer LS/LT motor swaps in & functional.

Much appreciated sharing the install logic & tasks to get things accomplished so far. Having stuff like this on the site as well as the members shared experiences can really help others out. Kudo's to you sir!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
