Yep! Took it to its first show yesterday. Next event will be Eagle fun days on July9.

Thanks for all the comments! Still working out lots of little issues, but at least it's usable.

It has a cooling issue, that doesn't make sense. I have a 2 speed fan wired with relays per the instructions on lt1swap.com. It works great, until it doesn't... The low fan logic has blown out 2 relays and one fuse. I have tested the logic multiple times by grounding the leads to fan1 and fan2, like the computer does. When cruising with good airflow, the water temp (reading from the ECM) cycles between 200-210. Somewhere in that range, the computer turns on the low fan. I have no idea what temperature the computer turns on the high fan, or if it is even programmed to do so. Anyway, once the relay "blows", it starts cycling like a turn signal, and the water temp runs up to 225+ and I shut 'er down.

Long story, after getting home and sitting all evening, there's a big puddle of coolant on the garage floor. I haven't investigated yet. It looks unrelated to the fan issue. Possibly a heater hose or the coolant overflow can.
