The fuel tank sump will be a challenge. If your tank is factory, it has a plastic liner in it. I was going to put a similar sump on mine but changed when I examined the construction of the tank. I ended up drilling it for a -10 bulkhead fitting and built a small sump held in place inside the tank by the fitting.

My original tank is long gone this tank has never seen fuel and has no liner. But the tank ribs are going to make it not fun to fit the sump so I was thinking a bulkhead fitting aswell. I am thinking a -10 from the tank to the pump and -6 to the front. Then should I add another pump later I will just double up on everything. Plan to run hard line down the frame rail.

No suprise there, the lined tanks are good at rotting out. You should be in good shape then, especially since you're eliminating the irs. The most difficult part of routing hardline is getting it around that. It's a good looking car, it's cool that you've hung on to it since you were 14.

My 60lb deka fuel injectors came in from a member on here.
Ordered a gt45 for 225 shipped, -10 an alluminum Bung for turbo drain, a fuse block, and a 1/2" t4 flange.

Got a surprise when i made it home today my back ordered 4 link came in a month early and exhaust bends.

What do you all think of turbo location?

speer13

I think you will run into problems with the turbo there... I would mount the radiator support and radiator first to see how much room you have.. I am currently building a 69 with a 4.8 and with the radiator and electric fan mounted I had only 6-8 inches to work with...even fabbing my own support. There looks like a lot of room but isn't, also it looks like you don't have your head light bezels and actuators in which takes up a bunch of space especially when the radiator lays down at an angle.... If you were to mount the fan on the front side of the radiator your turbo still looks like it may be in contact with the other side...not to mention by the looks of how your planning your hotside the radiator hoses are right there as well.... another point to think about is your intake decision an ls6/ls1 would put the throttle body almost right into the turbo where its at now... even the pro flo or vic jr with aarons elbow would be a tight fit.. I had to get a 4 inch cowl to fit mine under the hood...

do you plan on running a intercooler. Its high enough for the oil drain. Perfect if you dont plan on intercooler could almost go straight in throttle body

ken6881

No intercooler is planned for now and I could reclock the compressor housing and run one later

I plan to run a eldebrock proflo tall intake should work pretty well as a straight shot into it. Its going to run on e85 and plan to run methanol injector in each port.

Headlights are a non issue because I'm ditching the factory Assembly and am going to fab my own so there's more useful room.also the hood is getting pinned and will be lift off. So I don't have to deal with the pivot. Radiator is getting moved way forward and will be all but vertical. The water lines are the only issue and I will bend up some hard line if necessary to make it work.

Here is a pic closer to where I want it.

very nice,, you building the ms2?

ken6881

Yep I'm debating ms3 but not sure which way I want to go. I like the extra features like 2 step being the biggest one.

ken6881

If I run a brace off the motor to hold the turbo do I need a flex coupler on each pipe or one or neither?

ken6881

Th400 with tq 125. Thanks craigslist

ken6881

think i am going to try and use the stock truck intake and rails for now save 550 or so and all I have to do is try and fix the hole in it with a plastic welder if it doesn't work I will just bite the bullet.


still no thoughts on flex for the exhaust or not?

Got some more parts in fittings for the Bosch 044 pump. 10an in 8 out. Decided to run 8 an to the front so that two pumps later will not need a new line ran. And it was .20 a foot difference in price.

Ev1 connectors for my 60lb deka injectors. A 40A relay and plugs for my water pump

Started tacking the 4 link brackets to the rear end. I'm wanting this rolling chassis by Halloween

Very cool working in the tablet into the dash. I hope to do something similar in my car.

ken6881

thanks. I hope it works out as well as i planed.

Well I am going to have to put the vette on rush for a couple weeks because my halloween dead line to get this thing into a roller has just been made a hard deadline because I am moving out of my appartment into another one that my friend owns. So to get it from my garage to his big shop it has to have a rear end in it and wheels and tires.

Got a radiator for it. (Stock gen4 camaro radiator 109 from orileys) and my current fans will work decent may need to modify the shroud to cover more of the radiator once I get it running.

4 link brackets tacked to the housing


Trimmed some useless guards for the speed sensor.



Has anyone ever tapped the steam ports for 1/8 npt Wanting to use 1/8 npt to -4 an fitting and -4 lines.

ken6881

Got the driver's side 4 link bars tapped and shock mounts in here is a pic of itwithe the spring holding it up.
