And so it begins! Ghost's 68 project

Nice progress! Did the catch can come with the black push lock fittings or did you add them on? Also did you try the stock plug boots with the Kooks? I've heard stock LS3 wires don't fit some headers. I have an ls3 in the garage gathering parts so been following your build

When you buy the MM kit it does come with the two pushlock fittings you see. It also comes with about two feet of standard hose. I ended up buying the XRP pushlock house since I think it looked pretty cool.

I don’t think you should run into any issues with the stock boots. There is really good clearance next to the boots. I can see maybe having to remove the metal boot protector maybe. Hope to see your stuff come together soon dude.

I got my Boyd’s fuel cell installed and lines ran. Decided to mount the corvette FPR right next to the tank as it seemed like a good spot. Got my wiring to my pump all hooked up as well. My modern vintage wiring came with fuel pump wire and relay. Super nice harness I must add.

One of the biggest pains to figure out was my Derale trans cooler! Due to the size of this 40row cooler I wasn’t able to put it anywhere under the bed and I really didn’t want to run it up by the radiator so I had my buddy who is a fabricator come over and we came up with these brackets that were needed. I went with right under the passenger side of the cab. Mounted to the outside of the frame and tucked in nicely. Running the lines through frame via bulk head. Super happy how it came out.

Great looking project and nice execution/attention to detail.
Couple of questions...
How is the Modern Vintage wiring harness? Anything you liked or didn't like about it? and did you re-wire the rest of the truck. looking at the ModVintage site, he appears to have a c10 focus and integrates with AAW and Dakota Digital. i'm curious if he has a routing pattern for our c10's thats particularly neat or helpful or is it just a quality harness that looks neater because half the stock components are deleted.
Also what cam did you put in your LS3?
Thanks.

The Modern Vintage wiring harness is a really nice piece. When I called the guys up to place my order you can customize how every you want. They are super helpful and are willing to tailor it to your likes and needs. Super cool guys. Also since I follow them on IG, I’ve literally messaged them maybe 5-6 times with questions and they quickly respond with answers. Super helpful guys.

They have C-10’s and they do seem to focus on swaps for our trucks. When I got my harness I just got the standalone but was asked if I wanted to incorporate it with the body harness. At the time I said no but In retrospect I should have done it and redid my wiring. As far as the Dakota Digital gauges and my swap I currently did that upgrade and I’m just using the BIM module to read the ECU data. I think it’s cleaner then having to use DD wiring and sensors. I’m actually going to be updating this thread with my gauge swap.

My cam is a custom speced cam through Pat G and ground up by Texas speed. Cam is close to a BTR stage 3. Any other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks. I'm not at that point yet, but it's good to get some hands on feed back. They sound like a good way to go for the harness. Always curious about cams - interesting how many people get custom cams now. Like the silver color on your truck too. Looks good and is not very common.
