Yes I asked a couple of specific questions about the wiring harness in that thread.

The posts here are in response to old mate asking a question about the complete conversion.

last phots - LS1 on the way to get exhaust fabbed, exhaust done and dusted. It was tight around the steering column but they managed to get a nice Try-Y extractor system into a very small space

Is that just the extractors? No rear exhaust?

No its a full system front to rear, with cat converters installed. The Jag previously had a 350 Chev / TH400 conversion, so the back section of the exhaust was already in place. 2 mufflers directly in front of the diff assembly and 2 mufflers located behind the diff assembly. All the exhaust work in this section was left in place, because it is a really tight fit with a lot of complex bends. This part of the exhaust was still in good condition so it was left alone. The cat converters are located up the front, up high. There is also a short balance tube between the 2 main exhaust pipes that run to the rear mufflers. The engineer just wanted to see cat converters fitted that are the equivalent of the oem cats, which the exhaust place has done.

At this stage I have nfi how loud or quiet the system will be so that is going to be interesting when the old girl gets fired up for the first time...
