Default Finished my B18b swap...kinda

Well its in!! looks great...turned the key and.....nothing. The lights came on, but the lights at my dash were making a wierd buzzing noise. We didnt check for spark, because we had been working for 12 hours straight (myself and TorteX) So Im thinking it might be the starter I got from the yard. any other ideas...also We hadnt put trans fluid in when we were moving it and it was really hard to move...would having fluid in or not make a difference. I feel like I just got beat up. I need to sleep. Thanks in advance.

I didnt have the thermostat ground connected..thanks guys! I guess after a long night you tend to overlook stuff. We bench tested the starter, and its dead. Hopefully once it does start, nothing else is wrong. Also for a 95ls what radiator hoses should I use (put up a seperate post allready...but) while using my stock radiator. Thanks in advance.

Rywire.com did his engine harness LOL
Just kidding.. he likely did it himself, but we do them well.

DX to B18B conversions for $300

HF/Si to B18b conversions for $175
(plus $50 for optional fan switch relocation and OBD1 repinning of Injectors and Block off plug)
