Lol oh yeah it does, maybe a Cadillac with the suspension welded up solid in front.

I really miss the ride I had when I had the 6.2 I had to pull it and I put a 350 in, now it bounces all over the place. I almost don't like it! When I had the 6.2 it drove like a dream even with the 6 inch lift.

I have been thinking of bolting 1" steel plates to the bumper to put that weight back up front and then a winch in front of that. lol

Well now that I have been messing around with it lately, I must be narrowing it down. Before when I connected the connector for the cluster I had nothing at all. But I think I connected a wire or something, I don't really remember lol but now I got lights and turn signal markers. But no gauges work which obviously they won't because I snipped all of the wires on the left hand side of that fuse block that is in the fire wall on the engine side. So I just don't know where what wire would go to which sensor. I tried to do a continuity test and I had luck with the coolant Guage but not the rest

yea man I think you did what I did , there was a orange wire that gos back to your fuse block that needs a 12 volt source it was connected to your starter when the chevy engine was in there , needs to be on the battery ... you need find a chevy manual that has stock wire color codes that's really the only way to figure that out
