another nice piece came in, WCCH ported tall deck LS7 carb manifold. I decided to use this instead of the mast in hopes of keeping things under the stock hood....fingers crossed
well crap, as I had feared...it won't fit under the hood so there goes the nice power bulge hood, time for something aftermarket then
it would probably clear without an air cleaner

I got a lot done. Project is well underway to becoming a running car. I rebuuilt a 2004 LS1 from a corvette and modified it a bit here and there. Running carbed because I wanted old school for a change. I do have a holley mid ram in case I want to change to EFI
Building up the LS1:
time to drop it in
and mate to the T56
it's in
this fits like a glove

no need for the mast oil pan I have,.... I'll use it for my other LS swap with stock crossmember then.
Home built SFC/trans mount combo works out fine
Daytone Sensors SmartSparkLS ignition controller
the D1SC is something I thought about since I had it lying around. I mocked it up to complete the brackets and spacers but it will not go on here... I built the engine with a tighter uench (much tighter) and the cam is not SC friendly. I dont want to grenade it.
Building the exhaust, speed engineering headers into 3"Y into 4 merge stepped downb to 3.5. Will get 2 spintechg mufflers in the rear but I was short on elbows and need to tweak the drivers side tip to get the turn downs equal distance from the edge of the bumper. the 2 sides next to the storage compartment are not symmetrical

fabbed new fuel lines that run through the SFC for protection and with armoring around where it's exposed. uses a bulkhead on both sides to hook to soft lines
installed my driveshaft, it's a tight fit and uses a 1350 yoke. This will not break.
I'm using a C6 power steering pump and pulley for easy access to the bolts. Biggest problem is getting a line on it. i fabbed an an line but with the pulley on the B nut on the hose end runs into the pulley ugh... So, time to fab a short hard line adapter.
Result:
Took some careful bending on a stock return line to get that to fit
next is the cooling setup, i'm using a C5 radiator that's an almost exact fit. All it takes it drilling a hole for the locator stud/drain port. The C5 dual fan setup will work also but my acumulator is in the way, Otherwise it would have fit beautifully. I may move the accumulator a bit and use the C5 fans if the single spal is too weak.
Nice shot from underneath

Nothing like seeing flames in your carb to get **** tingly feeling, lol.
I know it might seem kind of cheese dick but I had one of thee on m 86 small block TA years ago. Just a thought.
