What are your plans for heater, or are you not running one out in CA?
Did you use the engine to determine where to place the motor mounts or just put them where the originals were and adjust from there?
Able to leave the crossmember in one of the original slots or have to modify?
What did you spray the interior with? Did it work out best to do that before final paint or prefer to do after?
Did you have to go Hydro due to space, or was it just personal choice?
I know, lots of questions..
Playing with thoughts of moving from LT to LQ4 in my junk. Watching your progress closely!
The gauges are from speedhut and it's their freedom line OBD2 style gauges, with custom jeep font. (though it looks pretty close to their normal lineup)
The heater is actually included in the vintage air setup, the core is actually inside that unit. It's super compact.
We installed the engine to see where it would fit, on the middle setting it was pretty much perfect.
We had to modify the crossmember and move it back to accommodate the 4L80E. Though I think if you have a 4L60 you shouldn't have an issue as I believe they're about the same length.
It's called rubber guard. We'll see how well it works, it's supposed to be a sound deadener, though it didn't come out very well when it was laid down in some places.
Just a personal choice for the hydroboost, I wasn't super happy with the way the truck stopped before, I would've gone bigger wheels/brakes but I might still do that in the future.
