trans is back in with the torque converter. Put the skid plate up and had to clearance the front crossmember for the converter slightly. I cut that out but still need to plate it. I got bored and wanted chinese, so we called it quits

Back on task here

Got ls3 manifold finally properly mounted the other day with studs and gaskets

Ordered a dipstick for my trans now so I can fill it and make sure its all set before firing up the motor again.

Been doing a little bit of looking and research and should be able to get by with an 07-up water pump since the neck outlet is oriented differently than my current one.

Case and point, I am hoping to fire her up again next weekend.
