its alive, it took me two days to figure it out though why the starter would engage but not turn the motor over, first I had a new solenoid put on the starter, same thing the starter would engage but not turn the motor over, checked the battery it was putting out 12.8 volts, so had the starter tested at orielly auto parts, tested bad, so got a new rebuilt starter put it on same thing, so took the plugs out to see if the motor was hydro locked did the same thing, pulled the trans off to see if it was binding up look ok, then I thought I don't have a single ground on the engine so added one directly to the starter bolts to the block turned right over, then got the trans bolted back in turned right over so cranked it for a little bit to prime the oil system hooked up the ecm power primed the fuel pump and fired right up let it run for about 15 second and Idled right up but still need get a trans plug or tail shaft so I can get more the 6 qts of trans fluid with out it making a mess on the floor, put coolant in it, make power steering hoses, and hook up a oil pressure gauge

I also got a few other things done in the past week

Looking good! I would think the hose clamp on the PS hose wouldn't be sufficient. Are you going to trim the lower rad hose?

[Flamingbig10]

thanks, the power steering hoses are for mock up and I'm just using emission hose, and the radiator hose are trimmed and clamped

Pretty much 0 reasons to ever put a Carb on an ls.

On subject - looks good dude, needs more forced induction.
