swapped out my fuel pump last night for an ebay "walbro" 255 lph.









also, here is another shot of my exhaust.

 

looks like you are getting really close to firing up!

 

Great job.

 

yessir. Im hoping saturday is the day

Thanks!


Brakes

Here are the caliper brackets for the fronts

332mm rotor and hat bolted up

Part of the dust shield was rubbing the rotor, so i had to hack part of it off.







the caliper is pretty close to the wheel, so i added 3mm spacers on all 4 corners








Rears. 300mm - I had to grind down the mounting ears on the trailing arms to get the calipers to line up.

 

Awesome brake set-up! Notice a difference with that Walbro?

 

Thanks. Got the car started for the first time this Saturday.

 

Video? Love the car man, makes me want to get one!

 

Congrats on getting it running!

 

Thanks. Ill get some video soon. We havent installed the radiator setup, so we didnt let it run very long. Just a couple 3 second teasers at idle.

 

Nice work, those brakes are wicked! Keep it coming!

 

 

nice i was thinking of wrapping my headers too, looks good

 

it should run pretty good. do you know how much it weighs?

 

Yeah, prob not as good as JetHot, but its a hell of alot cheaper.

It weighed 2400 pre swap. Im gonna weigh it again once the car is finished.

 

Got some work done Yesterday. Spent mothers day at the shop instead of with my mom.

Anyway, Ive been worried about the rear end of my car being able to hold the torque of the LS1, so we did some reinforcing.

welded in some triangulated pieces to the diff mount






w/ diff bolted up


We also did some reinforcement from the top (trunk). We originally were going to setup the angled braces symmetrically. We decided it would make more sense to have them come down directly above the diff mount.














Im starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This week we plan on pulling the harness and cleaning it up, and clearing room and mounting the monster radiator i got.

Also, Im having a custom driveshaft built. There is a good chance it will be here before the end of the week. Should be good to about 600 whp (not that ill get there, but dang )

 

I'm pretty sure this car is just going to fly away! very nice build man and congrats on getting it running, hopefully driving it soon and letting us know if you made it to the moon or not!

 

Very nice work, I look forward to seeing it complete AND to some videos!

By the way, what part of Texas are you in?

 

its going to run pretty good if pre swap it only weighed 2400lbs

 

i swear it seems like i'm doing the exact same build!!!

wish i would have posted mine up on here.

 

The arm pit. El Paso

should be interesting. Traction will def be an issue.

For real? Smurf Blue e30?

you should show off your Battle Pony 240.
