More "Project 8 sec LT1" pics not dialup friendly
Got another bunch of pictures after putting in about 4 hours a day for about 5 days straight after work this week..... Got the rest of the fuel system plumbed and all the lines routed under the car following the stock line routing. removed the wheelwell cover on dvr side to route lines thru the stock shock tower hole, fabricated a trick little bracket to run the lines thru, mounted y-block, spent more money on a regulator, started to prepare myself emotionally for the electrical install, mounted switch panel, routed and mounted tranny cooler lines for a professional look, ran lines through the stock air dam.... probably a few other things I forgot.... Oh and my FAST XFI system arrived at fasttrackperformance today.... so that'll be coming next.... standalone box with dual bank wide band, software, initial tune, opti plugs and a few sensors i need.... motor is under construction in suisun but after mockup and setting deck height and a few other minor issues, assembly begins..... all the parts are there and paid for thank god... enjoy.....
dual feed sump (1 plugged the other 12AN feed line)
yet another jackstand pic.... beadlocked 28x10.5W's
tranny cooler mounted horizontally in nose above foglight vents (1LE with foglight delete)
tranny cooler lines and fresh new underhood paint

Race car! Reminds me of Sled's old car, good luck!
And sorry about the door panels, i have to order door panels from wolfe racecraft which i will have upholstered to match the interior.... car will remain FULL interior... yeah it does have a Dave Diluca feel to it..... Hell I'd be happy if it performed like sled's old car... 9.1@154 ain't bad... But 8.99@154 will sound alot better...
And thanks darrell for the compliments.... project is many months in the making..

How are those summit seats? Comfy
Looks real good. Did you have any problems fitting those braided lines into the stock location under the hood. (meaning...where the rubber lines go into the shock tower?)
some drool started to accumulate on desk in front of me.
excellent work
excellent work

I have the same suspension and fuel system. I am just wooried about the 9" travel and the filler for the 9" hitting the gas tank on a hard launch. Im going to test suspension travel tomorrow. Looks sweet. I just ran the fuel lines thru the drivers side fender and right beside the brake booster. So you cant even see them

awesome.. how much was that fuel cell

That does look good. I am going to be running a totally custom fuel system soon...and like the idea of that bracket. Would you mind taking any more pictures of it? Perhaps enlightening me on the dimensions of it
Dimensions i'm not completely sure of but what I did was take raw metal and after mocking up that area with a piece of cardboard to make a template i penciled it onto the steel and made the proper cuts with a chop saw. then i drilled the holes initially and used a uni-bit to size them to the lines on a drill press. then drilled holes in the plate followed by marking holes on the shocktower and then drilled them. I then made sure I cut the screws in half so they were blunt (they come in contact with the lines on the other side) so they wouldn't puncture the lines.... and that was it....
