A small update- The motor/trans went back in last Sunday, the t-case went back in yesterday and tonight I cleaned/repaired wire harness looms and started feeding the harness back into position. I found that the t-case shift indicator got busted, so a new one is coming from Rockauto. It's not hateful to reach from underneath but it would have been better if I hadn't broken it when I wrestled the t-case back into place.
All of the mounts secured on the engine and trans.
starting to pull the harnesses into place. I didn't take enough pics when I took it apart, so there's a bunch of seeing where the harness wants to naturally lay and seeing what can plug in from that position.
I tried the TBI t-stat housing, I think that it will fit ok and clear everything. One thing that I noticed tonight is that water temp sensor that is next to the t-stat housing on the TBI doesn't have a place on the GMPP intake. There's a threaded hole for a return nipple from the heater core that I could use reducer bushing in, I'm not crazy about that idea. Maybe there's a sensor that uses the larger pipe thread on the base that will fit the threaded port in the intake without using a bushing.
