Default LS1 install update pics.
Well after a month and a half of trying to get the clutch to work, it's finally functioning. I guess Centerforces idea of malfunctioned clutch is different than mine. And after buying 3 slave cylinders, 2 master cylinders, and one replacement pressure plate the hobby is getting a little expensive.
Fuel line is install, wiring harness is on it's way, and then off to the muffler shop. After that I'm going to have it programmed and dyno tuned.

Looks good!

But, you know you can flip the fuel rail around so that it is on the same side as your fuel line supply. It would look better. IMO.

He's right. Flip that fuel rail around and swap covers which will make the fuel line a lot shorter and cleaner looking. Nice looking install!

Really? Then you have to swap the valve covers so that the filler is on the drivers side too, right? I never thought of that.

The fuel line is just laying there. I will plumb it behind the block on tabs. Once the harness is in, you want even see it.
Thanks for the tips.

Yea, they should be able to rotate as well. You'll just have to reroute your EGR tubing, but that's easy enough.

Looks good Buddy. I was going to go with a braided line just like you did, but I cheaped out and went with an aluminum line with AN fittings instead.

Thanks, Guys.
Jeff - I went with the braid just to add a little chrome. I'll probably add some more "shiney" as I go.
