Brake booster should already be tapped in rear drivers side runner.
Mat sensor into rear passenger side runner.
The rest at the front. Also a good time to do valley breather and coolant cross over mod.

November 26, 2016 at 2:55 pm #20756Got the coolant cross over done on my manifold. Just need to drill and tap a thread for the air temp sensor then I can fit manifold and fit motor into car. Anyone know what size thread I need to tap for the sensor?
March 5, 2017 at 6:19 pm #21923Not a whole lot of progress lately but starting to come together. Changed my mind on a couple of things, sold my come manifold and bought a harrop hi rise. Bought a set of tri spokes that I’ve been looking for for awhile now, changed the door cards to a set of leather ones. And the biggest decision I’ve changed my mind on is ditching the T5 for an auto. Wanted to keep it a manual, but after driving my mates blown vk with a manualised auto at red centre nats I’ve changed my mind. Got a th400 for it yesterday for a good price so the conversion will be underway shortly

March 5, 2017 at 10:18 pm #21932It’s coming along nicely mate, the engine looks mint too, funny you mentioned wanting to stick with the manual but deciding to go auto, I’m about to do the same thing to my ss, got a built th400 sitting there ready to go, I just need a higher stally and the tailshaft built to suit mechanically but I’m not sure what if anything I need to do electrically so to speak
March 5, 2017 at 11:54 pm #21933Cheers doz10 getting there slowly, from what I understand the T5 speed sensor should bolt into the th400 one. And reverse lights should be able to setup threw shifter depending on what one your using, don’t hold me to that just what I’ve read. Haven’t looked into it to much yet, as I’ve only made the decision this week to go auto. Still have to work out what stall I’m going to go, but won’t have to worry about kick down as I’m going manualised.
March 6, 2017 at 5:32 am #21934Ahh yeah that makes sense, from memory I think the speedo outputs are the same or the parts are compatible, my auto is fully manualized too, I plan on going to a fully manualized 4l80e for the overdrive later on down the track for the overdrive but the th400 will be plenty of fun till that happens

Posts: 5 777Go a manualised auto with a ratchet shifter. Poor mans sequential manual
March 6, 2017 at 11:28 am #21936Trimatic FTW
March 6, 2017 at 2:14 pm #21938Yea that’s what I’m planning on vrsenator065, got the idea of using my manual knob still and trying to keep the factory look like you did with your senator. Just need to find a auto marble surround to replace my manual one, not liking my chances after seeing how hard the manual ones seem to be to find.

i reckon I know where one is. I’ll have a suss
March 6, 2017 at 2:42 pm #21940Cheers cava that would be awesome, then I could pass my manual one on to someone needing one
March 6, 2017 at 6:11 pm #21941Worse case you can always use your manual surround.
March 6, 2017 at 9:56 pm #21942What’s wrong with your rear end. That rear wheel is set quite a fair way back in the quarter
March 6, 2017 at 10:07 pm #21943Rear end is fine, I just had the wheels sitting next to the car. So I could see what it looked like, here’s a better photo of the rear end
