Well that was not what I was thinking at all. Grounds can be a PITA...

 

Engine going in for the last time.......Fits Pretty good......Next is to get the trans crossmember remounted.....

 

how is the clearance between the a c box and the coil packs? thanks John

 

Plenty of room...............

Got a couple of things finalized today......Moved the rear cross member back by bolting it from the bottom of the frame mount using the front crossmember hole in the rear frame mount hole ......so ....It is only held in temporarily with 1 bolt per side........Mark will finish the frame mount mod's at his place as they have a person that Really knows how to weld......LOL.....I also thought I would see how the 2012 Camaro exhaust manifolds fit.........It seems they were made for this install......10 Minutes all installed with plenty of room everywhere........Got Lucky again........Next on the list is the Power Steering Pump.....A/C Compressor ......Radiator and trans cooling hose.......Fuel system....Here's a couple more pic's.....Plenty of room around the factory A/C on the firewall........

 

Awesome!

 

Got the Power Steering pump and lines installed today........It seems we are missing the bracket that holds the reservoir in place.....Mark is looking for it to get that loose end taken care of........I also started installing the A/C Compressor and brackets.......Oppps........Wrong Compressor.......Mark ordered the correct one today......Got the Radiator installed......Tomorrow I need to measure the driveshaft for shortening and get the trans line made and installed......

 

Very nice/clean car to start with. What's the blue AN fitting in the PS reservoir for? Second return port? What else do you plan to run with the PS pump?

 

The fitting was from a Hydro boost set-up in the previous car........The reservoir will be replaced.............or capped off....

 

Ken 1:53 AM post? Working that late/early is how to make things happen!

 

1.Moving along........Got the Power Steering reservoir mounted ......Mark brought over the correct A/C compressor.....got that installed using Kwik Performance brackets.......(Great Stuff).....got the column shift linkage installed ...... Torque converter bolted up.......I started getting the fuel system installed........Mark modified the stock tank for the LS application........I got the Filter/ Bypass installed and started on the fuel lines......LOL........The lines that Mark supplied are different than the ones I was used to using and after trying for 45 minutes to get one fitting installed.........I threw in the towel.......So.....The car is going back to Mark with just a bunch of Mickey Mouse things left to do........In the pic with the A/C compressor installed, I had a spare 99.5" belt laying around but the directions call for a 101" belt.....the one I had was too short as you can see so Mark will be getting the proper sized one.......New Driveshaft is also installed.....

 

Instant LS swap, just add Ken.

So is this car done, Ken? Is it going to be on the Power Tour this year? My plans vacation changed so I will be doing stops 2 and 3 this year. If you are going, I will need to know what car to look for buddy!

 

Yes......The car is finished........But...It is not my car.....I was just helping a friend out..........Yes we are doing the Power Tour.......I will have the Beater Blue Chevelle and will be in the Dakota Digital Booth daily............See you there


Ken

 

 

Yeah, I knew this wasn't your car, but you said it was your Power Tour buddy's car, so I'm assuming it'll be there too?

 

Unfortunately............He can only do Madison this year..........

 

Very nice build. Not to many 67's floating around anymore. Very nice car indeed.

 

I'm curious if he mentioned how the Magnaflow exhaust fit?

 

He said it was a very well engineered kit................Fits Awsum....
