the -3 pan has ports for possible Turbo/SC oiling pre drilled, since you never know and it is so easy to add boost to a stock LS i decided t get this pan.... i think they cost the same...
I took the troublemaker for a spin to do some data logging, she's not registered so I cant be to arrogant and drive arround town.. Data is looking good so far I think I'm pretty close with the tune... I have installed the power steering. But I have problems . PS pump is fine, I bleed the system 2 times but I still dont get it to work.. I might have a broken gearbox.
Re your power steering retrofit problem: Most power steering pumps are directional (one way rotation) because they are positive displacement, but GM had some odd pump models that turned the opposite way to make pressure. Turning in the wrong direction won't work. This may be simplistic, but check the pump type and its rotation to be correct (in the same direction ) before you dive into the steering box for problems.

Hey Tom i fixed it already. It was a simple Bad LS pump. i got a Junkyard 15$ replacement and we are up and running.... Its awesome... I am putting some interior parts together.. That means she is pretty much done.... i need to register her and then i can do driving/data login for a even better tune... she runs very good already... I am kinda sad since the build is always the fun part ( at least to me) i will most likely look to put a Vintage AC in it once i saved up some spare $ for it.
Hey Sebambam, I love this project. Have you made any updates and/or are you getting it out on the street regularly?
Hey thanks... yes i do some cosmetics here and there but she runs strong... as of right now i am still riding "dirty" since i havent had the time to go register her. but i should be able to do that asap. the biggest upset is TX heat, she has no AC and right now it pains me to drive her since with open windows if feels like a Air fryer in TX lol. i might want to adress the AC in the winter
I am kind of Sad But also grateful to have SOLD this beauty back to the original owner. She is gone, did I have enough time with her? Probably not but I also have a wife that is happy to have her garage space back.
