I purchased a 25' roll of 3/8 and 5/16 coated steel tubing from O'reilly's Auto Parts. The part number for the 3/8" tubing is PAC625. I purchased AN sleeves and nuts at the local hydraulic supply. I purchased the fuel rail and fuel line adapters from O'reilly's. I found they can order pretty much anything that Summit or Jeg's offers without shipping and can have it to the store within a few days. The local hydraulic supply made up my Parker Puch-Loc hose and AN fittings.

I got the lq4 fired up this weekend and it sounds good! It has took three years getting to this point but it was worth it. I'm very pleased with the PSI stand alone harness and the tune that Steve Williams (Tuned by Frost) did on my ECU. I will upload a short sound clip in a few days. Now it is time to finish the cab, steering, wiring, etc. so I can drive it around. Getting the engine started is a big motivator to finish this project and move on to the 37 GMC.

I went surfing the internet today and ran across your build. I gotta say nice work. Any updated pictures? My son in law and I are working on his 52 Chevy too. Got a long way to go. We're also doing the Heidt front end with the 4 bar for the rear. Please update yours.

I finished all of the fabrication on the frame and cab. I have not touched it since 2012. I purchased a one owner 71 Camaro SS and that has been my focus over the past year. We built a new house and shop during 2013. I'm thinking about selling the 52 lq4 project as it sits. I've lost interest for now.

Great thread,
I too, am doing a LQ4 swap into a 1961 Apache, I would like to run a LSA supercharger on it but am having a hard time finding tech help.
I love your build and ideas!
Looks great!
