Sorry to hear about the head gasket. The mechanic should make good on that for you. After all, he installed it.
As for the rack, the boot does not hold the fluid in, it just keeps dirt out. You blew the seal. The rack will need to be rebuilt or replaced.
I would let him do it but I'm out of time. He kept the car for 3 months and I have to move back to Atlanta ... car is going to have to be trailered. I found the problem with the gauges ... wires are completely missing from my harness.
For the headgasket, is there a Chance I may have a warped block or head cuzz its alittle weird to blow a gasket in one day.
What's the likelyhood of the entire block being trashed? I am running a 160 state and my fans come on but at times they seem not to. Also at times the heat blows real cold and at others real hot. Independent of my driving ... I'm beggining to think there was air in the system which lead to it overheating.
Would opening the radiator cap alone be enough to bleed the system while running it or do I need to disconnect the hose that goes to the throttle body?
Should be enough, squeeze the hose from the rad a little bit while it runs
Wait, Is that a V6 or V8? 1990 Chevrolet C-K 1500 series 4.3L .. 5spd
1994 JDM Euno Roadster 1.8L 5spd Bolt Ons.. etc 2000 Camaro 3.8L Auto Bolt Ons..etc
Yea, keeping squeezing your upper radiator hose until you dont hear bubbling anymore. It will be hard to get all of the air out, but doing that will get the majority of it out of the system. You might be surprised how much air is in there and how much coolant you have to keep dumping in to compensate for it.

I used Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak for the steering rack and it completely stopped the leak in a few hours. I know Im still ganna need to replace the rack but I did it to keep it from leaking while the car is down.
I'm back at home in Atlanta. The car is going to be shipped to me because it wasnt in condition to drive it back. When it gets back then I'm going to proceed with repairing it. I have a local shop who works with F-Bodies on a day to day basis who I've done business with before and has done good work for me. I'm taking it to him for the remaining problems when I get it back.
I drove cross country in a Honda CRV meanwhile, those things are pigs on gas, worse than my car was. I didn't go the most direct way though, I went through California because I-90 was closed.
I am also in the process of doing this swap. 99 camaro ls1/t56 donor car to my 2000 v6 car
Im having trouble getting the car to run. I have everything bolted up and the car turns over when I turn the key, but I dont hear the fuel pump turn on. When I hook up my hptuners it wont connect to the PCM.
I ran the INJ 2 wire from my donor car to the right spot, but im thinking there is something I am missing

Check for possible blown fuse's. Do you know the PCM was good before you got it?

It could be VATS related,did you swap the BCM out of the donor car?
