Little update I dropped my block off to have it machined and the short block assembled with the new lunati 408 forged bottom end. GOt the -10cc pistons so I believe I will be around 11-1 com or so. Should have it back this week. and I will get some pics posted. and start working on getting the motor in the car, after I swap out input shafts in the lt1 tranny.

Ok so I have been doing some contemplating and decided it would be best for me to just plumb new fuel system. My stock lines are 3/8 and 5/16. I have to up the return no matter what I do, so I figured I might as well just run 1/2 in feed and return and call it a day, and still use my aeromotive regulator....

Ok, well I've got the motor in the car for a mock set up so I could run the fuel system and cut away the cowl for the carb to fit. Only thing I'm really waiting on to get this all together is the new input shaft. which has been on back order for the past 3 weeks.

there was really no where to mount the fuel pump with out clearance issues, so I cut a hole underneath the back seat so I could fit it up underneath the car.
Cutting the fuel hose caused a bit of a problem. I found out You could only cut it with a chop saw or a small cutt of wheel. I believe they also make another special tool to cut it. anything thing else just frays the SS braided wire all the heck.

I just took out the old fuel pump intake assembly and cut off all the old tubes and welded up the holes and drilled another hole to put in a bulk head for the feed line. Ill do the same for the return. just a small mod to save a little cash.

Update. I finally got the motor mounted and bolted down for good and the t56 buttoned up behind it. I had to modify the trans mounting bracket due to the longer gto bell housing. spark plugs in, headers on, made some custom brackets and welded them on the frame so I can mount the radiator up strait instead of the stock tilt. lots more room to move around now with that little mod. I got all the radiator hoses hooked up and plumed the steam tube to the radiator. I got the return lines and feed lines ran.
Gettin really close to the first start up. still have to fab a pickup tube for the tank and run all the wiring to the fuel pump, starter, msd and what ever else I have to do.
