You should be able to buy a smog pump delete pulley and bracket. Not saying you have to, but it might be easier too. Unless your pretty good with the fabrication kinda stuff.

Yea I'm pretty good, I took blueprints in school, have my own welder,torch plasma cutter and so on.

I'm making it out of aluminum, I'll polish it.

Only thing I don't have is a lathe to turn down a few parts, but I have a drill press.

Oh nice. I have drill press and a welder, wish I had a plasma cutter. I did 3 years of engineering and drafting in high school. Probably should have pursued that but I play with cars instead.

If everything works out on this bracket I'm going to sell them, I know a good shop with a water jet and cnc. I'll sell them for around half what the others go for.

Ordered the lokar throttle cable,ep243 fuel pump, and 87 v10 sending unit. All from summit. Surprisingly Summit is cheaper than all the national parts chains.

Nice. Yes summit is awesome. I'm interested to see how those brackets turn out.

Well I got my second set of Headman headers today and they are in worse condition than the first set. So I'm sending them back. I've ordered a set of Doug's Tri-Y ceramic coated headers. Yea a lot more money but a lot less hassle.

More to come in a few days after the freezing weather. I'm going to go back over my wiring and take detailed pics so I can attempt to do a nice informational write up on how to complete this project on your  own. Complete with a list of all part numbers and hopefully the cheapest place to buy.

The prom is in the mail to get the VATS deleted, smog programs delete, egr delete, tuned for better performance for towing and fuel economy.

Nice headers. I'm sorry to hear that the hedman's didn't work out. I have a set and they are good. Oh well, guess the quality control guy was off that day haha. I still have to do a write up for the TBI swap I did back in august haha.

[Brocksdad1]

Got my throttle cable, sending unit, and fuel pump yesterday.
Looks like it will be a few more days until I get my headers and cold air intake system. Both are coming from California.

So today ill be cleaning up the driveway and the garage a little even though its only going to get to 17 today.

[LTZ C20]

Sorry to hear that. What are you waiting for.

[Brocksdad1]

Well I was waiting on my exhaust but
And today I made my smog delete bracket
And I also got my cold air today.

I'm still waiting on my prom to return.
I have to buy some high pressure fuel line.

And it needs to warm up.
