I decided to change my fuel tank setup. Rob at Chiseled said it will be done next week. Should be a really slick setup.

August was a busy month, but finally an update on this build.
Even with the tight radius cast aluminum 3 inch 90*, It was still to close the the roll bar and manifold. I decided to cut about an inch and a half off the turbos to gain some room. I welded some 3 inch tube the the compressor housings to be able to clamp them in the bandsaw.
Then welded the aluminum elbows on the housings.
Then I made the 3 inch aluminum charge pipes from the turbos to the intercooler.
I thought about putting the BOV's on the top of the intercooler.
But decided to put them on the 4 inch aluminum charge pipe.

I also picked up this custom 3 chamber tank from Robert at Chiseled Performance. He was great to deal with. Great communication, great quality, on time, and for the original quote.
It's about 14.5 gallons for 87 octane, 5 gallons for e85, and 7.5 gallons and a rule pump for water.

What's something like that cost?

Made a wedge to slant the tank a little towards the sumps and cut the floor.
Added a couple fuel level senders to the tanks.
Made some brackets to mount the fuel pumps and trans cooler under the trunk.

I spent a few days building AN lines. -10 feed and -8 return for the E85. -6 for the pump gas. -4 for turbo oil feed, steam lines, and vacuum lines.
Steam lines
Made a bracket to mount the FPR to the valley cover.
I didn't want the steam line fittings rattling on the valley cover so I mounted them to an aluminum bridge type thing. It also allowed the return line to run under it.
I love these tall intakes. Room for all kinds of stuff.

-10 oil drain for turbos.
Block drilled and tapped to mount alternator.
I'm also using an LS2 water pump spaced out to match fbody accessories. The flatter pulley on the pump let me get the intercooler closer to the engine.
