I would say thats fair considering its a real nice piece and it comes with a LS1 thottle body. Also considering TTR is selling a mani like yours for 500 without a throttle body. Seems fair to me.

Travis- I'd say thats fair if your including the ls1 tb. Why don't you have a welding shop add bungs and a rail to that and make your own portfueler? Or are you not staying in the boosted j's anymore?
David-that gaming chair should be pretty cool when done. I've always wanted to build one for my ps3
Looks like the same manifold that Skunk had made for him years back (or maybe from the same company?). I never really cared for their runner shape, but that seems like a decent price to me. Maybe throw in an "OBO" (or best offer)

Hey guys. For anyone that's not doing anything today or just wants to come through and have a few beers, my address is 5115 w barry, chicago illinois 60641. You can't park on the street bc the block party, but when u do find parking just walk to my house and come to the garage!
Well, quick update. The motor is in the car holding up with the mounts. I got 95% of the wiring harness connected, and now im just waiting for a few more parts. Those come in tmo. Hopefully ill have her runing tmo night. I was going to have her all back together tonight, but I figured out Napa forgot to give my buddy a couple gaskets that I need, so im stuck. But so far I installed a new PS rack, new outer tie rods (new rack had new inners obviously), I painted the engine and trans (engine is GM Orange and the trans is Gloss Black) its more of a joke and is far from perfect, but I like it and im keeping it that way lol, engine is in the car with the trans, as I said earlier the rest should be buttoned up tmo. But I do have to say. There is not alot you can use from the LD9. They were wrong about the hoses for the radiator, and the hoses for the heater core. So some things you need either way, but not a issue. I also removed my whole AC system since the compressor on the car I bought was seized and I was not able to use the one on my LD9 so I said screw it, and just tookk it off, and put a smaller belt on it and it should be fine. I have my Weapon R WAI coming in tmo, as well as my Tsudo Header coming tmo also. So once I have those, and finish the buttoning up ill be Eco Powered!!!!!
sweet mike, check the flanges on your tsudo with a straight edge as they normally are warpped. You can use a gasket from vatozone on the 2pipe flange section if you need to double up on gaskets. I ened up helping Rare5speed get a new clutch n throwout bearing in. Hope to hear it's running monday.
Jeff you and me both. I am a little worried. I have heard that about the headers, and the gaskets that came with them being crap so i got some gaskets from Napa so im thinking ill be good. I am worried about getting it in there tho because I have never installed anything like this before as far as the header. But i think ill be fine. I have to pick up a new Crank sensor since mine broke. Other then that, I think im good.
Mike when you go to install the header if the flanges check out, make sure you pull the valve cover completely off, it will help droping the 4 to 2 portion in. Other wise I have no useful input.

I'm probably good for whenever, James. I don't think I have anything going on any of those days.

Jeff, thanks man. It actually works since I need to replace the vc on there now. So sweet. Gotta wait till tmo to get more parts. A little fyi you cannot use any of the hoses from the ld9. It said I maybe able to use the upper and lower hoses for the rad but nope, I can't. I also can't use the heater core hoses, so I'm just gonna use regulaer bend to use hose and say to hell with it. Other then that, I'm having a issue with the crank pos sensor. The one that was there I broke last night so I'm waiting on napa to get it in tmo, but I can't seem to get the damn connector on it. So I'm hoping ill figure it out. Other then that ,tieing up a few loose ends, filling it up with coolant and doing a oil change and she's ready to go.
Oh and about the meet. U guys figure out a date, bc I can't commit to anything in Aug since I have a lot of stuff going on that month. But if you get a date I maybe able to make it.
Gm orange actually. I did that more as joke then anything else. I kinda like the way it came out. I mean its not where near perfect but I like it for now.
Well, I had a FML moment tonight. I went to move the oil dipstick so I can button up the front of the engine, and THE @!#$ THING SNAPPED THE BOTTOM OFF IN THE HOLE GOING INTO THE OIL PAN!!! Please tell me someone has a easy way to get that piece out of the hole. I tried a pick but I cant feel the end of it. I really dont want to drop the pan but If I will I will, but I dont want too lol. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. This thing is killing me. LOL. But let me know guys!

It's easy
Now I'm really not trying to be funne, but is it really?? I know some cars are a PITA with pans. This looks pretty straight foreward. Welp, if that's what I gotts do then so be it. Jeez, its one thing after another with this right now. I'm glad I'm doing the swap, don't get me wrong, but everything just keeps going wrong with it. Oh well. Newho, I'm going tmo afternoon (I start 6am-230pm shift tmo) to the junkyard and getting a radiator, the heater hoses and now a oil dipstick tube. And maybe just maybe ill have her put back together by the weekend, altho I probably won't since its suppose to be hot as a mofo tmo. And, well I don't want to die lol. We shall see lol
Should have gone with a W41

Very nice Mike good to see your making progress! Tomorrow Im planning on putting on my upper mount, k brace, and trans mount. Hopefully all goes well lol.
Dave
Lol if yacall breaking the crank sensor and the damn oil dipstick tube progress then hey I'm making waves! Hahahahha jkn! Thanks man. And goodluck on ur project tmo!
If you don't want to pull the pan, can you magnetize a second dipstick, sick it down the tube and pull out the broken section?
I have no signiture
Are those ones threaded-in or pressed-in? If it's pressed, you could cram a bolt into it and then pull the whole shebang out. But threaded-in would need an easy-out, in which case you'd save a lotta time by just pulling the pan and doing it on a bench... I know SBC's are pressed-in, so I'd guess that the 4-bangers probably are too...
Got my upper mount and k brace on. Between those two makes one heck of a difference lol, car is more fun to drive now. Unfortunately i didnt get my trans mount in, me and my buddy we finishing up the audio system in my brothers cobalt.
