Like another member said what exactly are you doing. All i saw was that you apparently swapped the engine or took it out to upgrade internals. Detailed information would be helpful to understand this thread

DAMN BRO... good luck to you... I myself am going through the same build.. but I bought a spare motor to build up so my wouldn't be down for too long... but it looks like I'll be doing most the work myself and I hope all goes to plan...

bdwarr06, all the wires sort of fall in place believe it or not. Don't forget the cam sensor connector, as that is the one I forgot. Once I plugged it in, we were up and running.
Word of advice, since the engine has been out of the car for a week or so, get electrical connector cleaner from the parts store. Spray both the connector and receptacles on all the parts. This seems dumb, but it solved another issue I was having with one of the sensors not getting the correct readings. Good luck, and get that thing fired up!

I give you major props man. I yanked and fixed an engine on my old car by myself, and I know exactly how much of a pain in the ass it is. Hope the rest is easy on you. Def. agree with 2K5SS/SC? about the connector cleaner. I had 4 plug malfunctions when I finally put mine back together.

We're all pulling for him, but I have a feeling someone is taking a well deserved nap and may not have everything together for a few hours...either that or he's plugging away at those connections right now.

lol get a bit of rest man.
make sure your head is clear to do a final checkover so its all smooth sailing.
besides....youll enjoy it far more if your rested when it fires up, so you dont collapse just when its play time!!!
btw.....you better get that first fireup on video!

It sounded like you started to say all I have is this, and then the list got larger and larger. Those are definitly some parts all over the bay though, so you must have been tired! You don't have the GM Perfomance Division emblem marked on you forhead now from falling asleep in there do you? That would be an awesome pic! By the way when I finally finished my headgasket job, it was 2:00AM and I definitly drove for like an hour or so because I was so happy despite the fact I had to be up early the next morning in my Full Service Dress to attend a funeral!
