Progress Report, Disassembly complete!
According to my checklist, I have just about everything disassembled on my LS1 ---> Studebaker project. You can see progress here:

On Sunday I'll roll the car out into the drive way where I will jack it up and take the pressure washer to the frame and under carriage. That will get rid of about 5 years of road grime and residue from a leaky T350. It is actually pretty clean, but I want it spotless. It will be a while before I get another chance like this. Then It will be back inside to start fitting things together. Once everything fits, I will pull it a part again to do some painting before final assembly. It is real hard for me to resist sliding that engine and trans in there right now, but first things first! Besides it is so much nicer to work on when everything is nice and clean. My new fuel tank and pump should get here next week, and the reprogammed ECU and custom wiring harness should be close behind that. I'll keep you posted.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
