    Default My 3L SVT build

    I thought I would start a thread for the progress of my 3L build from start to finnish, as i go.
    Im taking many detailed pictures every step of the way, but I will only be posting a few of them. If you want to see more just ask and I will post whatever i have.

    Hopefully this wont take long!!

    This is what I started with
    1999 CSVT in great shape for $500






    less than 12 hours after I got it.



    and 6 hours after that.


    lots of down time this weekend so i have been cleaning parts.
    everything laid out on my garage floor.


    cleaning the lower intake

    Looks like you need to run the cupholder through the dishwasher, that thing is sick.

    You wont be running the upgraded cupholders? Those will deff block the line of site on those gauges. You also may want to angle them up a bit.

    Make sure you upload in Pics and Videos (and with a sound clip for the engine). I'm sure everybody's waiting to see and hear. I don't think as many frequent this forum compared to Pics and Videos.
