The Jalapeno, our 2005 GT build thread

[white95]

Today, @lwarrior1016 and I got the 6r80 in the car. The wiring and such will be completed in my spare time over the coming days/weeks.

1. Installed, adjusted and secured the shift cable.



2. Installed the driveshaft.





3. Routed the transmission wiring along the firewall, behind the battery box and into the car.

Some progress

Small steps taken but steps, nonetheless.

I get it.

Few more pics of that Coyote. It lost one of the timing guides. Will check for PTV contact soon.

Otherwise, it seems to be in decent shape.

Finally home and now the teardown can begin. Well, Friday.

Couldn’t wait..

This bore had a scratch and is the only concerning item I’ve uncovered.




We will hone it and see what happens. Worst case, it’ll get sleeved.

The heads aren’t in terrible shape.

Circling back to this, I took the bumper cover off to brain storm the transmission cooler.







Yeah, that ain’t happening. My buddy suggested using oem 11-14 parts and I have them on order.



While I was in there, I noticed my AC condenser was somehow beat to shit and now it will be replaced as well.



Shouldn’t be much longer and I’ll be test driving to let the Quick 6 learn.
