Are those stock heads on your car? If so, who ported them?

those are stock l92 heads. nothing fancy ( yet )

sultan , my goal is to see an ls1 in every car ( bill gates did it with a computer in every home , why can't i )

v8rumble , thanks ! dunno how that came out

cam72aro, thats one of tha major reasons i switched to F/I ( i was sick of carrying 4 bottles around every time i go to a race ) , that and i had the F1-r laying around


didn't get much done today since i spent the majority of the time disassembeling the camaro motor and cleaning it before i delivered it . i did however manage to slap some bling on the thing :





according to my calculations i should have the tranny in tomorow ( i wounder how many times i sadi that already ), and if i'm lucky and don't run out of t-bolt clamps i might just finish up the whole intercooler piping thing. then maybe i could drop the tank .

another thing i noticed is that i moved thee radiator so much forward that it now has a bit more space than i need between it and the blower . i'm debating whether to pull it back , or see if i can fit the stock fans in there.

If you give me an LS1, I will put it in my car. I would even take a stock one!

i finally dropped the tank today, i was planning on cutting it and welding a sump in . but after i took it off the car i found that the sump i got was a bit big. it was not going to be a cut and weld deal. it would have required a bit more fabrication and time to get it to fit; so i decided to just use a bulk head fitting on the bottom of the tank. i located it centrally so that if you remove the fuel level sender you will have direct access to the nut. and from that i'll just run a 90 deg -8 hose end to the rest of the fuel system. ( no pics today- i forgot to get the camera )

i also finished the bov deal; i cut a hole in one of the 90 deg bends and welded a tube and the voretech mondo BOV to it . the BOV sits just infront of the pass. side front tire. all that is left is to run a vaccume line and finish the maf part and the elbow into the T/B.

so the plan tomorow is to clean and button up the tank and start running the fuel lines and pumps/filters. i'll also try to finish up the intercooler piping and a few odds and ends under the car.
the next few days i'll focus on the top end of the car again; i'll mount the water injection pump somwhere and plumb that, finish the front bumper and mount it and then start on the interior ( guages and what not) and the wiiring .

well i got the tank sump deal done , i had to use 2 bulkhead fittings since i'm using 2 pumps. i also mounted the walbro pumps and filters right behind the rear bumper :










the pumps have their feed lines go around the tank and meet in front of it using a y connector ( both hoses on each side are -8 , and the outlet from the Y is a -8 too), from there i'll run a hose under the passenger side and into the engine compartment.

and as promised , pics of my sexy vortech mondo BOV resting on my even sexier welds :



and here is how the intercooler piping looks so far:



i finished bolting the torque converter too, i just need to run the fuel line now, install the rear bumper, and find the stupid shifter bracket spacers that i seem to have missplaced and install the bracket .

and here is a shot i took on the way to the garage ,,,, i like to call it " just chill'n "

yup , i'm a native here. went to the states for school (ASU) and now i'm back here giving ricers and sport bikes a hard time

well i finished the fuel system now , i just have to check it for leakes under pressure. i also installed the rear bumper and cover , so the rear end of the car is pretty much done.

next up on the list :
finish the intercooler piping (mostly the MAF part), pull the radiator a bit back since i have room between the blower and radiator, and maybe have time to hack up the front facia some more

So, how much is gasoline there. Since you have been here, what grade did you use here compared to there?
